>From 9.6 release notes:
Class E addresses—The JUNOS Software now allows Class E addresses to be
configured on interfaces. To allow Class E addresses to be configured on
interfaces, remove the Class E prefix from the list of martian addresses by
including the [edit routing-options martians 240/4 orlonger allow] configuration
statement.
Whoa. What is the use of this? While it sounds like a neat idea to
reclaim Class E for actual use in this age of IPv4 depletion, the idea
loses its appeal once you realize the huge numbers of legacy devices
that won't want to have anything to do with Class E.
