Re: AWS Using Class E IPv4 Address on internal Routing

I think this "intra-standard", probably using white-boxes, could be an
Open-Standard conducted by an RFC or IANA definition.

Something like:
-> Equipments compliant with RFC WXYZ are able to use Classe E in their
Interfaces without giving pokey messages "reserved for future use".


So, if an organization wants to use that, they will require from the
vendors the compliance with that RFC.

Back a little bit ago when the thread about running out of RFC-1918 space
was going on, I was going to make a suggestion about repurposing the Class
E space in the case where one ran out of space, assuming one could get the
vendors on your network to support this address range.

I sort of discarded the suggestion just because of the whole issue of that
range being hardcoded as invalid in so many implementations that this
didn't seem all that useful.

On the other hand, if you're large enough that you're running out of
RFC-1918 space you might be able to exert enough power over select vendors
to get them to make this work for selected purposes.   Router-to-Router
links, especially between higher-end routers seems to be one of those cases
that it might be useful.     It might be the case that Amazon is already
doing this....

Has anybody seen that also?

P.S.: I'm completely in favor of a complementary RFC assing FUTURE USE
exclusively to "Between Routers" Link Networks...
