As far as your IP address, you can use just about any IP address you want with SLiRP since the emulator uses ISIS’s IP address when it sends TCP/IP frames out onto the Internet. SLiRP recommends that you use an address from the 10.0.2.x block, since 10.x.x.x addresses are reserved for private internets. As far as the other stack parameters, conventional wisdom says that smaller is generally better for serial links such as PPP connections.
