private Ip address as machine id

[rattipavan]

I want to know , what's the thinking behind putting the lower 16 bits as a machine id? in context of kubernetes environment will the last 16 bits of internal ip will ensure we will have unique 16 bits for every node?

I think you can configure your k8s CIDR so that the lower 16 bits of internal IPv4 addresses are unique.
