Global Settings Plugin - Network Type

I'm trying to compare the results on Nessus using diferent
configurations on the plugin http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=sin
gle&id=12288 
with plugin src http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=vi
ewsrc&id=12288

This plugin sets some "Global Variable
Settings".  This configuration is
stored on the kb where plugins can ask for information, I
haven't
checked all settings one by one, but the one about
"Network Type" which is declared as:
--------
script_add_preference(name:"Network type",
type:"radio", value:"Mixed (use RFC
1918);Private LAN; Public WAN (Internet)");
 
 opt = script_get_preference("Network type");
if (! opt) opt = "Mixed (RFC 1918)";
set_kb_item(name:"global_settings/network_type",
value:opt);

--------
Sets the value "global_settings/network_type" on
the knowdlege base but is not being used by any plugin.
First time I suppose this option established some timming
options for plugins, and
cheked the RFC on http://www.
rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt but this
option is deprecated or am I wrong?.

Thanks in advance,

In the global_settings.inc include file, the value is
actually used to
define the variables 'all_addr_private' and
'all_addr_public'. And those
are used in network_func.inc and, eg, plugin #10759
(iis_nat.nasl).
