What is 233.252.0 0/24 reserved for? I don't immediately recognize it and didn't see it on the iana special registry.



https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5771#section-9.2

> The first /24 in this range, 233.252.0.0/24, is assigned as "MCAST- TEST-NET" for use in documentation and example code. 233.252.0.0/24 SHOULD be used in conjunction with the [RFC2606] domain names example.com or example.net in vendor and protocol documentation. Addresses within 233.252.0.0/24 MUST NOT appear on the public Internet.


Well dang I should've thought that through before asking the question. Should've realized up in the 220-230 range was going to be mcast reserved. Can't help but acknowledge the irony in not throughly reading the docs for the documentation reserved range though.

GPT is wrong here - or at least, doesn't provide the complete picture
