Internet network definition - all address space minus reserved private IPv4 address space

[zz.plat00n@…]

Current definition of Internet Network can be achieved by defining a new network with the following characteristics:

• network : 0.0.0.0
  
• netmask : 0.0.0.0
  

It can be useful to add an option to define Internet as:

• network: 0.0.0.0
  
• netmask: 0.0.0.0
  

WITHOUT reserved private IPv4 address space
10.0.0.0/8 (255.0.0.0)
172.16.0.0/12 (255.240.0.0)
192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)

The same could be realised for private network declaration.

If you enable the anti spoofing "class a", "class b", "class c" options traffic from the networks you mention gets dropped. Isn't that the same thing?
