Hi,
I did a small traceroute to a few IP addresses and found a lot of IP
addresses having 127.255.255.255 and each instance of 127.255.255.255
belongs to a different AS... Can someone tell me what significance
this has?
Thanks

Are you aware that Goofle is a search engine? What happens when you put
your subject line into their search bar?
No. I tried using Google. I know its a loop back address but I've read
somewhere that it is used for spoofing. So in my traceroute dataset, I
didn't know if I should be bothering about these addresses in the
first place. Would you kindly advice me?

Either you did not do as I suggested or you are incapable of
understanding anything which you read.

The only one which such an address could spoof if you. All of those
16,777,216 addresses are inside your own machine.
Thanks for the information though I would've preferred the same answer
in a polite tone. Not everyone is a born genius. It takes sometime to
get used to the terminology when someone is new to the subject.
Anyways I shall improve myself as you suggested. Thanks for your time.

Why should I be polite to some Windows user who is incapable of using
google before posting a question to Usenet. Post your questions using
Linux and you will receive a more polite answer.
Start using a real news server instead of goofle and you might even get
more answers. I block gargle posts in most newsgroups; this is one of
the few exceptions and if this NG starts getting more abusive articles
posted to it I will include it in my garfle blocking.

What exactly was 'abusive' about the OP's question? He was being quite
polite about the whole thing. The only abusive posts have come from you!

You don't seem to read very well either. Where did I state that the OP's
articles were abusive?
And if you determine that a logical conclusion drawn from the OP's
statements is abusive I think that you need to check a dictionary.
Thanks Bit Twister. That article does mention a few guidelines about
"How to ask questions the Smart Way" but never answered anything like
"How to answer the questions the Polite Way" Anyways please accept my
apologies Dave. I am not sure why Google has set up groups to
interfere with newsgroups when so many people oppose it but I am using
it only because it exists. Anyways I never imagined that a small
question from my side would trigger so much of negativity and this
time if I "ever" post a question again, it will be from Linux. :)
Thanks

Oh I'm sorry Bit Twister... It does answer that question too but in

Heheh, yet another usual response. :(
Guess you skipped
[url]http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#not_losing[/url]
section. :-(
I will admit I see it alot. OP reads that document without dropping
their attitude and wants to still justify their stance. :-D
Lots of time I see those /Tone/ remarks, and the majority of the time
the /tone/ is in the readers head. Then the OP pop's off and away the
flame fests starts.

Well, three cheers for your side.

I'm not from a Dark Side... just trying to get into one :) Sorry about
the whole fuss though... This will be my last reply here in this

Hmmmm. I feel strongly both ways. The question was obtuse, and the
answer was succinct.
A real technologist takes a windoze machine, inserts a LiveCDrom of
GNU/Linux and then, sees if the network situation can be duplicated.
If so, and it is a 127.x.x.x address, then, probably, it is compliant
to a standard.
Now, what a forward thinking person would do, is get a free computer
from a dustbin or curbside "donation", run GNU/Linux on it, for all the
experimentation projects.
Back in 1997, that is what I did, and found that after about two months
of non-use of the favorite concubine machine, also wiped windoze from
that, speeding her up in the process.
Never looked back, read Eric S. Raymonds' works, and have attained
enlightenment and freedom from the Dark Side and the Evil Empire!
Hope others do so, also, and promptly! Today, Saturday, January 5th,
2008, as we do monthly, [url]http://leap-cf.org[/url] hosts a large Installfest, in
Central Florida.
Welcome to those of you who can attend and enjoy the FREE stuff.

Re-read! I said that "The only abusive posts have come from you!" - and
you're the only one moaning about abusive posts. There was absolutely no
need to give the OP attitude about posting a simple question and also for
some bizzare reason, not using Linux!

Because you give Linux a bad name.
If you don't want to answer a question because you think it is silly,
don't answer it.

Go back and read my first response to the OP. It -was- polite but also
insistent on using the search engine first. I also stated my reason for
being impolite (or abusive in the eyes of some).

Yep, you said you were entitled to be an utter asshole
just because he posted from a non-Linux platform.
That's absurd when applied to valid beginner questions
in a technical newsgroup. (It is exactly correct when
applied to some jerk trolling, or anyone posting in an
advocacy newsgroup.)
Ah, well... everyone has a bad day and that's one for you.
