Oh, interesting. What's at the intersection of networking and amateur radio that these address blocks are often used for?

Oh, interesting. What's at the intersection of networking and amateur radio that these address blocks are often used for?
- alibarber 7mo agoQuite a lot of interesting stuff - for example there are mesh networks setup worldwide that attempt to run IP over RF using these - and then use the internet to forward packets from one to another. They also offer simpler ‘turn-key’ wireguard tunnels too for things like Web SDR setups. For BGP direct announce in practice it seems to be in the spirt of non-commercial ‘self learning and experimentation’ which is what a lot of legislatures around the world do use as their base definition for the ‘amateur’ in amateur radio. So I guess much like having slices of radio frequencies reserved for it, we’re lucky there are slices of address space reserved for this.
