TCP/IP Over Firewire on OSX

I wasn't aware of this until today:

Customers can immediately enable IP over FireWire and then connect two or more Macintosh systems by FireWire for file sharing, Internet sharing, or the use of any other IP-based service. IPv6 and zero-configuration networking are also supported. Many Macintosh products have 10/100 Ethernet and FireWire 400, making FireWire the fastest option for local area IP. For help activating IP over FireWire, open Mac Help and enter "IP over FireWire". IP over FireWire can also be used as the starting point for new development, such as for cluster computing applications. Established IP services such as AFP, HTTP, FTP, SSH and TCP/IP can all be used on FireWire to support new development.

Sweet! (yes, Gigabit Ethernet is faster and better supported, but I love having a wide range of devices on the Physical layer of the stack)

They have their very own Class A IP space assigned to them: See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IP_address_blocks
