What addresses does LOCAL cover from iptables

[sasanet]

Hy

in match module used in iptables for example:

iptables A INPUT -m addr-type LOCAL -j ACCEPT/DROP

according to the iptables man pages it say's it's "127.0.0.1 for example" also on another resources on the www I found no answer to this question.
but it looks like LOCAL is 127.0.0.0\8 IP range and not local network A,B,C class and APIPA ??

thank's in advice.

if you have more than one machine and they are connected in some manner you have a lan. The numbers assigned to your lan is the local. For instance you man use the 192.168.0.0 block so all of your local is in that block. If you have any form of assigned numbers then that is your local.
