Subject: FreeBSD users of 127/8 Date: Mon, Nov 22, 2021 at 12:57:43AM -0800 Quoting John Gilmore (gnu () toad com):
 
If it turns out that FreeBSD usage of 127.1/16 is widespread, and the
above analysis is incorrect or unacceptable to the FreeBSD community, we
would be happy to modify the draft to retain default loopback behavior
on 127.0.0.1/17 rather than 127.0.0.1/16.  That would include both
127.0.x.y and 127.1.x.y as default loopback addresses.  

treize:~ mansaxel$ sipcalc 127.0.0.1/17 | grep "Network range"
Network range           - 127.0.0.0 - 127.0.127.255
treize:~ mansaxel$ sipcalc 127.0.0.1/15 | grep "Network range"
Network range           - 127.0.0.0 - 127.1.255.255
