:There is no such thing as unroutable IP address. Even 127.0.0.1 is
:routable. You possibly meant IP address from private and reserved
:address spaces.

You would appear to be incorrect on both points.

"RFC 3927 - Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses"

This document uses the term "routable address" to refer to all valid
unicast IPv4 addresses outside the 169.254/16 prefix that may be
forwarded via routers. This includes all global IP addresses and
private addresses such as Net 10/8 [RFC1918], but not loopback
addresses such as 127.0.0.1.



http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3330.html
"RFC 3330 - Special-Use IPv4 Addresses"

127.0.0.0/8 - This block is assigned for use as the Internet host
loopback address. A datagram sent by a higher level protocol to an
address anywhere within this block should loop back inside the host.
This is ordinarily implemented using only 127.0.0.1/32 for loopback,
but no addresses within this block should ever appear on any network
anywhere [RFC1700, page 5].

169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. It is allocated for
communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these
addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not
be found.
