<para>If the specified
address is 0.0.0.0
(for IPv4) or [::]
(for IPv6) a new
address range of the
requested size is
automatically
allocated from a
system-wide pool of
unused ranges. The
allocated range is
checked against all
current network
interfaces and all
known network
configuration files to
avoid IP range
conflicts. The default
system-wide pool
consists of
192.168.0.0/16,
172.16.0.0/12 and
10.0.0.0/8 for IPv4,
and [fc00::] for
IPv6. This
functionality is
useful to manage a
large number of
dynamically created
network interfaces
with the same network
configuration and
automatic address
range
assignment.</para>
