Networking talk follow-up



    Thanks to Shawn Houston for the fine networking intro talk.
I'm hopeful that we will be able to continue the thread in future talks.
    Just as an informational footnote, I looked up two of the RFCs that
applied to the topics discussed. In brief :

  rfc1918 - specifies that the following networks are reserved for 'private'
    internets and not routable :
     10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255  (10.0.0.0/8)
     172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255  (172.16.0.0/12)
     192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255  (192.168.0.0/16)

  rfc2606 - specifies that the following top-level domains are reserved and
    not for use on the global internet :
     .test
     .example
     .invalid
     .localhost
    and the following 2nd-level domains are similarly reserved :
     .example.com
     .example.net
     .example.org

     Just in case someone from GCI asks... :-)
