Полезность CIDR

Полезность CIDR

Возможный дубликат:
Что такое классовая адресация?

На протяжении многих лет я слышал термин "CIDR" и никогда не задумывался об этом. Сегодня утром я просмотрелСтатья в Википедиии пришел к выводу, что CIDR — это на самом деле просто алгоритм генерации IP-адресов для сети (или в ней).

Это справедливая оценка? Или я упустил общую картину? Есть ли другие важные применения для этого?

Заранее спасибо!

Помимо его основного применения в Интернете, еще одним важным применением является сегментация диапазонов частных IP-адресов в крупных корпоративных сетях.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR):
         an Address Assignment and Aggregation Strategy

1.  Problem, Goal, and Motivation

   As the Internet has evolved and grown over in recent years, it has
   become evident that it is soon to face several serious scaling
   problems. These include:

      1.   Exhaustion of the class B network address space. One
           fundamental cause of this problem is the lack of a network
           class of a size which is appropriate for mid-sized
           organization; class C, with a maximum of 254 host
           addresses, is too small, while class B, which allows up to
           65534 addresses, is too large for most organizations.

      2.   Growth of routing tables in Internet routers beyond the
           ability of current software, hardware, and people to
           effectively manage.

      3.   Eventual exhaustion of the 32-bit IP address space.

   It has become clear that the first two of these problems are likely
   to become critical within the next one to three years.  This memo
   attempts to deal with these problems by proposing a mechanism to slow
   the growth of the routing table and the need for allocating new IP
   network numbers. It does not attempt to solve the third problem,
   which is of a more long-term nature, but instead endeavors to ease
   enough of the short to mid-term difficulties to allow the Internet to
   continue to function efficiently while progress is made on a longer-
   term solution.
