They are Hyper-V devices and can generally be ignored as long as things are working right. the 172.16.0.0/12 addresses are private IP addressing space used by your VM system for various purposes and is used by default because although 172.16.0.0/12 is private IP space, but few device use that be default and typically use something in the 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8 IP address ranges. | |
