A local network in this project refers to an IP network that utilizes a broadcast-capable network interface, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but excludes cellular (WWAN) or VPN connections.
The following are considered local networks:
IPv4 | IPv6 |
---|---|
- 169.254.0.0/16 //Link Local - 100.64.0.0/10 // CGNAT - 10.0.0.0/8 // RFC1918 - 172.16.0.0/12 // RFC1918 - 192.168.0.0/16 // RFC1918 |
- Link-local - Directly-connected routes - Stub networks like Thread - Multiple-subnets |
Additionally, both multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4, ff00::/8) and the IPv4 broadcast address (255.255.255.255) are classified as local network addresses.
