Re: New Subnet Rule [7:47670]

2002-06-29 Thread Michael L. Williams

I had heard that there was an RFC pertaining to using a /31 on
Point-to-Point links only (in which case there is no need for a
network/broadcast address).  Has this been implemented in (Cisco) network
equipment yet?  Is the RFC complete?

Anyone know?  Priscilla?  Howard?

I have successfully used both an "all-zeros" and an "all-ones" subnet on
Windows 9x.  (192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.255.0/24)  Works fine.

Try configuring your machine(s) with addresses in the following
networks:

198.62.0.0/28 - e.g. 192.168.0.1-14
and
192.168.0.240/28 - e.g. 192.168.0.241-254

This would be utilizing the "all-zeros" and "all-ones" subnets of
192.168.0.0/24

You tested configuring machines in the *networks* 192.168.0.0/24 and

Re: New Subnet Rule [7:47670]

2002-06-29 Thread Mike Mandulak

I'm not really sure what your getting at here... If you configure a machine
address to be 192.168.0.2/24 you are using subnet zero, whereas if you
configure a machine with an address of 192.168.0.241-254/28 you are not. If
you mean configure the PC with an address of 192.168.0.240/28 then that
would be a valid test of subnet zero using VLSM.

Those aren't subnets, though, since it's class C.

Ah, Priscilla, Priscilla, Priscilla.  And all along I respected you 
because I thought your design thinking had no class.

It would be accurate to say 192/8 is the traditional Class C space, 
with the assumption of a /24 mask. To have shorter masks in that 
space does imply CIDR awareness, but there can still be significant 
problems -- and carrier filtering issues -- merely because something 
is in 192/8.

Ironically, I once had a /22 in 192/8, which was generally subnetted 
into /25's. There were a couple of sites where I could have used a 
/24, but chose not to because any /24 tends to draw unneeded 
attention of the Address Vigilantes.

CL: 192/3?  "Class C"  space includes anything from 192/8 through 223/8 Am I
constructing the CIDR block correctly?

CL: also, in a situation where it matters, would an ISP advertsie 192/8,
recognizing it contains defined private space?

Strictly, yes. But there are historical issues here.  192/8 was the 
only part widely assigned before there was concern about address 
exhaustion, and today is called "the swamp", with that part of 192/8 
greater than /24 called the "toxic waste dump".  At the start of the 
CIDR effort, the swamp took up 50% of the routing table, and the 
toxic waste dump took up 50% of the swamp.

By the time there were significant allocations from the rest of the 
traditional class C space, registries were asking for much more 
justification, and also might assign CIDR blocks.

I can't see any reason why anyone would advertise 192/8. Large chunks 
of it, yes, and generally very poorly aggregated.  At the time 192/8 
was being allocated, if you needed more space, you'd typically get a 
traditional class B assignment.

CL: asking because I don't know enough to figure it out for myself, but is
there danger of something similar happening with the allocations out of the
former "A" space? Or are the registries and the ISP's now getting slots here
working things such that summarization is easily done?

CL: ( quickly looking up a couple of things on ARIN.net ) answered my own
question. Neet!!! :->
