Maybe this is totally OT here, but given the amount of traffic here recently maybe some of you can find the time to educate me?
I've been given an IP4 number from my provider in the third of four
/26 subnets. I.e. I have x.x.x.157 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.192 and, of course, default gateway x.x.x.129
I suppose the other 61 IP numbers in my subnet have been reserved
mainly to my neighbours. Maybe not necessarily, but probably, no?
If so, if I find out that one of the other 61 IP numbers was given
to my neighbour friend, wouldn't it be possible to connect directly
to his computer without having to go via the default gateway?
Wouldn't that mean that we then can have direct fiber connection
without the artificial speed restrictions that our respective
subscription results in?
Or am I totally out in the blue here? 8-)

So I agree with Victor
