3.2.5 Classless Inter-Domain Routing<br />

The success of the Internet may lead <strong>to</strong> a shortage in IP addresses. The increasing number of<br />

networks also lead <strong>to</strong> a quickly increasing number of routes which will also cause a problem<br />

for global routing tables.<br />

The solution <strong>to</strong> this problem consists of two steps:<br />

• Restructuring of the IP addresses<br />

• Hierarchical route structure in order <strong>to</strong> make the routing more efficient<br />

CIDR, Classless Inter-Domain Routing is a new way of addressing for the Internet which would<br />

lead <strong>to</strong> a more efficient use of IP addresses in comparison <strong>to</strong> the classes A,B and C. This<br />

results directly from the subnetting concept.<br />

The Net ID is not limited anymore <strong>to</strong> 8,16 or 24 bits. A CIDR address contains the 32-bit IP<br />

address and information about the number of bits that are part of the Net ID. In the address<br />

206.13.01.48/25, the suffix ’/25 means that the first 25 bits determine the network name and<br />

that the remaining bits are used <strong>to</strong> identify a certain participant on the network.
