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.
