Hi, mbo2o:
-
Great! Let's work together to either prove or disprove the idea.
-
To expedite the progress, allow me to recommend a couple general guidelines:
A. Let's contribute what each of us know and capable of when requested. (I follow an almost contradicting philosophy. That is, I know that I know enough of certain topics, so that I am not shy about admitting that I do not know some topics.)
B. Respect the other's approach / opinion. Raise comments only for the purpose of understanding it, not to critique. (In the process of clarifying, the other party learns how to convey his idea better in future presentations.)
- Appreciate your preceding interesting comments that do have certain amount of truth in it. Let's put them in the background for now, except I should address "untold wealth ":
It is too early to dream about this possibility. On the other hand, I have taken appropriate steps to be sure that it will not be totally thrown away. I can only promise that when reward does shows up at the door, each and every contributor will get respective fair share from it.
- While I will be continuing my study of OpenWrt documentation and learn from the manufacturers, there were two initial questions cut short by the SysAdmin because the discussions went off track. I would like to ask again for possible confirmation which will expedite my learning curve.
A. There were lists in two Topics (see below) on this Forum that mentioned the 240/4 netblock. Each also included the common private 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 plus others. My question is, does this mean the 240/4 is inherently included in the OpenWrt routable table, or can easily be set up under OpenWrt? And, where can either be confirmed in the OpenWrt documents?

B. There were a couple initial tests conducted by colleagues (see below) with apparently contradicting results that the specifics were completely out of my league. I was hoping to see some definitive result with finite steps that could guide me to replicate.
Can OpenWrt Route 240.0.0.0/4?
Can OpenWrt Route 240.0.0.0/4?
Thanks.
