I'm sure we can all agree on at least the concept that sourcing packets from an address which cannot receive a reply is at least potentially useful, for example to avoid DoS against a critical piece of infrastructure. Would it make people feel better if there was a specific seperate non-routed address space reserved for "router generated messages which don't want replies"? Why?Why not just use 127.0.0.1?!?!?!?!?
and thats different from rfc1918 because?
