Yes, you are right that your example doesn't show any savings of IP
addresses.
Try other examples, though, such as:
191.100.48.0
through 191.100.55.0
In the olden days, that was impossible. The assignment had to be
191.100.0.0
191.100.255.0
You had to give away 64,000 addresses even if the comp
Ok, thanks for the reply Jason. I think the example I gave was confusing me,
sometimes these books don't use the best example.
In the example I gave then am I to assume that this is NOT conserving IP
addresses but simply an efficient way of reducing entries in routing tables?
The examples you gave
The way that CIDR conserves IP address space is by eliminating the need for
classful networks for every subnet. What used to be a class A network (i.e.
32.0.0.0/8) can be broken up and assigned to various entities (i.e.
32.0.1.0/24 to one company and 32.0.2.0/24 to another). Also, subnets which
