Comment: The address 0.0.0.0 may only be used as the address of an outgoing packet when a computer is learning which IP address it should use. It is never used as a destination address. Addresses starting with "0." are sometimes used for broadcasts to directly connected devices.
Comment:
Comment: If you see addresses starting with a "0." in logs they are probably in use on your network, which might be as small as a computer connected to a home gateway.
Comment:
