Has anyone seen this before, I noticed some weirdness and ran a netstat -r and found this atypical address I have never seen before:

    224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0         On-link         127.0.0.1    331
    224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0         On-link      192.168.1.75    291
    224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0         On-link       172.24.16.1   5256

I did some research and found that 240.0.0.0 is unassigned and 224.0.0.0 is for Multicast only. Another odd thing (I’m not knowledgeable about networking) the multicast ip tracert came back as timing out:

tracert 224.0.0.0

Tracing route to base-address.mcast.net [224.0.0.0]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 * * * Request timed out.
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 * * * Request timed out.

…

30 * * * Request timed out.

Trace complete.

From what I read all multicast addresses should return a ping I’m not sure if that is the same thing as a tracert but I would assume something would comeback if a ping is supposed to.
