ClasslessInter-Domain Routing is a methodology of allocating IP addresses androuting Internet Protocol packets. It was introduced in 1993 to replacethe prior addressing architecture of classful network design in theInternet with the goal to slow the growth of routing tables on routersacross the Internet, and to help prevent the rapid exhaustion of IPv4addresses. IP addresses are described as consisting of two groups ofbits in the address: the most significant part is the network addresswhich identifies a whole network or subnet and the least significantportion is the host identifier, which specifies a particular hostinterface on that network. This division is used as the basis of trafficrouting between IP networks and for address allocation policies.Classful network design for IPv4 sized the network address as one ormore 8-bit groups, resulting in the blocks of Class A, B, or Caddresses. Classless Inter-Domain Routing allocates address space toInternet service providers and end users on any address bit boundaryinstead of on 8-bit segments.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 100 pp. Englisch.

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Classless Inter-Domain Routing is a methodology of allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. It was introduced in 1993 to replace the prior addressing architecture of classful network design in the Internet with the goal to slow the growth of routing tables on routers across the Internet, and to help prevent the rapid exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. IP addresses are described as consisting of two groups of bits in the address: the most significant part is the network address which identifies a whole network or subnet and the least significant portion is the host identifier, which specifies a particular host interface on that network. This division is used as the basis of traffic routing between IP networks and for address allocation policies. Classful network design for IPv4 sized the network address as one or more 8-bit groups, resulting in the blocks of Class A, B, or C addresses. Classless Inter-Domain Routing allocates address space to Internet service providers and end users on any address bit boundary, instead of on 8-bit segments.
