## Aren't we flooding 1.1.1.1?
class: extra-details
- If you're wondering this, good question!
## Party tricks involving IP addresses
- Don't worry, though:
- It is possible to specify an IP address with less than 4 bytes
*APNIC's research group held the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. While the addresses were valid, so many people had entered them into various random systems that they were continuously overwhelmed by a flood of garbage traffic. APNIC wanted to study this garbage traffic but any time they'd tried to announce the IPs, the flood would overwhelm any conventional network.*
(example: `127.1`)

- Zeroes are then inserted in the middle
- It's very unlikely that our concerted pings manage to produce
even a modest blip at Cloudflare's NOC!
- As a result, `127.1` expands to `127.0.0.1`
- So we can `ping 127.1` to ping `localhost`!

## More party tricks with IP addresses
- We can also ping `1.1`
- `1.1` will expand to `1.0.0.1`
- This is one of the addresses of Cloudflare's
[public DNS resolver](https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/)
- This is a quick way to check connectivity
(if we can reach 1.1, we probably have internet access)
