Technical Summary
The purpose of this document is to provide a discussion of the
potential problems of using private, RFC1918, or non-globally-
routable addressing within the core of an SP network. The discussion
focuses on link addresses and to a small extent loopback addresses.
While many of the issues are well recognized within the ISP
community, there appears to be no document that collectively
describes the issues.
