This will trip up most SOC workflows in funny ways, and I like it.
IPs having a global distinction between public/private is a convention, but local routing can widely differ.
Same with the "China Cyberattacks" - the guys sitting on top of my outgoing fiber can simulate any IP address they want to me.
It’s only a convention in the sense that the IANA is a convention: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/...
192.0.0.0/24, 10/8, 172.16/12, and various other subslices of 192/8 are reserved for local use and are not publicly routable.
