reserved IP addresses

[Ralph W. Reid]

I know that IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4 is specially reserved for
loop back on a local host.  I think there is something special about
IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 in IPv4 as
well (something about invisible local area network systems, I think).
I am looking for a listing of special IP addresses and ranges for
IPv4, and if possible IPv6.  I am also curious if anyone has used
IPv6 addresses with Speakup configured kernels.  Any pointers or info
will be much appreciated.  Thanks, and have a _great_ day!
