Of course it doesn't really matter, but why assign a /24 to a
point-to-point link? (Cross-over cable.) Assign a /30. For example:
xp: 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.252 bcast 192.168.1.3
fc4: 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 bcast 192.168.1.3
Now you still have *most* of 192.168.1.0/24 to assign to other
networks.
