Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> --- The name class E was abolished in 2002 when RFC3330 designated 240/4 as reserved and referenced rfc1700, which is STD 2, that reference appears to = be for the 255.255.255.255 limited broadcast address. I have removed the obsolete name "class E" from the title of this bug and u= sed the current "240/4" designtation. (In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #2) I do not have a serious problem with this patch, but would like to know we = are not just doing this at someones request without further reasons than "someo= ne is playing with it." --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
