5. Security Considerations 5. The Status of 128.66.0.0/16
Note that 128.66.0.0/16 has been used for some examples in the past.
However, this block did not appear in the list of special prefixes in
[RFC3330] or its successors, and the block is therefore not reserved
for any special purpose. The block can be used for regular address
assignments with caution.
