Once upon a time Igor V. Semenyuk shaped the electrons to say...
>Is the host route to host 0 legal? For example, is 192.0.0.0/32 legal?

I don't believe so, but I'd have to review RFC 1058.

>I ask this question because Livingston allows to create such routes

We allow several shady things, error checking for every thing would be
ponderous and bloat the ComOS. We turst our users to know what they are
doing. We're certainly not the only ones who allow this kind of thing,
some do, some don't. We try to keep everything compact and quick.
