| 171 | 171 | dn42 is interconnected with other networks, like icvpn, which also use the same ULA range so a registration in the dn42 registry can't prevent IPv6 conflicts. A fully random prefix (see [RFC4193](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193)) is recommended; finding a conflict and needing to renumber your network is no fun. |
