[MLB-WIRELESS] ip allocation list based on suburb

What r the goals/requirements for an IP structure?

To allow for over all expansion.
Ensure that each class of node has the appropriate subnet/subnets for it to
function.
Adhere to a structure that supports route summary for a dynamic routing
protocol if it is implemented.

Are there any requirements from other services that rely on a IP structure?


Let other higher services deal with area identification, IP structure is not
the best way to do these things.  Keep it simple I say.

My two cents....

I like the suburb allocation idea, but why not go back to postcodes with:

Postcode 3000 = 10.30.1.x
Postcode 3121 = 10.31.21.x
Postcode 3550 = 10.35.50.x
Postcode 3032 = 10.30.32.x

It just depends how the C class that is left is separated.  In reality, each
node should not require more than 1 IP for each link to each other node, so
what is the average number of nodes in each suburb going to be?
