Bug Description
This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:
- [ x] This doc is inaccurate in this way:
Shouldn't it be RFC1918 which defines private IP address ranges on networks instead of RFC5737 which defines private ranges for use in documentation?
RFC 5737 reserves the following three subnets as private addresses:
192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [x] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example:
RFC 1918 reserves the following three subnets as private addresses:
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/12
192.168.0.0/16
