For those who don’t know, RFC1918 is the Internet standard that allocates the addresses used for private networks – 10\/8, 192.168\/16, or 172.16\/12.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To minimize the risk it is strongly recommended that an organization using private IP addresses choose randomly from the reserved pool of private addresses<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This was reinforced to me yesterday whilst I was working from home, and I had trouble with a site-to-site VPN joining my network to work’s. As it happens there was no addressing conflict, but I had to install many routes more than should be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I keep seeing this sort of thing; joining multiple networks when everybody is using 10\/8 is a continual game of chicken – when are we going to find ourselves in conflict?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course there is a “fix” for this – NAT. The real fix of course is to use global IPv6 addresses even for devices and networks that will never be on the global Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
