Illegal address
Refers to the ill-advised practise of configuring the hosts on a network with IP addresses that are registered to (that is, owned by) another entity on the Internet. Since the locations of the legitimate owners of these addresses are known to the ISPs, any host with an illegal address that sends packets to the Internet will not receive return packets from the destination host.
