Description

The backend code may detect an invalid public IP address and update reservation.remoteIP. The address is usually 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x. This may occur if the address is retrieved while the public interface is still initializing.

This is difficult to code around because there is no certain way to determine when all devices are done being initialized.
