Q: What is 1.1.1.1? Why does it work for traceoute but not ping?

BlueBerry - Vignesh4303Today while trying out with networks I took traceroute of 1.1.1.1 and found my gateway address. Whereas I pinged 1.1.1.1 it results with packet loss. I googled about 1.1.1.1 and can't find any relevant results. The following were my questions: What is 1.1.1.1? As per my understanding, Default ...

networking routing ping gateway
Can we lock that question, 4 answers referencing Cloudflare, on a question asked 3 years before Cloudflare owned the address, is ridiculous

Lol
@Ramhound custom flag it? It does need some pruning and maybe a post notice if anything works and say I said to flag.

@BrunoFinger You probably won't run in any problems as the 1.1.1.0/24 prefix is currently assigned to APNIC for research purposes, also given that it is widely abused for local networks (especially the 1.1.1.1 address) and is thus not going to host a publicly-facing service anytime soon. But doing so is definitely bad practice. Practically you can (but shouldn't) use any unicast non-localhost IP range you want for your local network, but then if a public site/service uses the same IP, it won't be reachable from your network. — Ale Feb 20 at 20:57

Yea, that question needs some serious renovating.
I imagine many people fail to look at the date a question/answer was posted.

Should at least stop the low-rep answers. And hopefully higher-rep can read the Q.

@MichaelFrank technically the date shouldn't matter. Except when it does

Henry Chan1.1.1.1 is used as the default address of the DHCP server on CISCO routers. However, on the public internet, 1.1.1.1 now belongs to Cloudflare DNS service. Whois record: inetnum: 1.1.1.0 - 1.1.1.255 netname: APNIC-LABS descr: APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project des...

@FMLCat when was the last time you saw cisco respecting standards? :P

@Bob Yes, how do you think the DHCP server communicates with the client?
(To be fair, while it operates on the IP layer it is mostly just broadcasts)
