It's in the Windows IP stack somewhere. Packets to/from that network will simply be dropped.

That will certainly not be the only obstacle to running your containers on Windows.

You can use absolutely any /8 that you want. I used 250.0.0.0/8 in my examples, but the FanNetworking wiki page uses 10.0.0.0/8. You can use any one you want. Have at it ;-)
