Huitema, Chair +Request for Comments: 1481 Internet Architecture Board + July 1993 + + + IAB Recommendation for an Intermediate Strategy to + Address the Issue of Scaling + +Status of this Memo + + This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does + not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is + unlimited. + +Recommendation + + Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) proposes strategies for address + assignment of the existing IP address space with a view to conserve + the address space and stem the explosive growth of routing tables in + default-route-free routers run by transit routing domain providers + [1]. CIDR is proposed as an immediate term strategy to extend the + life of the current 32 bit IP address space. This strategy presumes + that a suitable long term solution is being addressed within the + Internet technical community. + + The basic components of the CIDR plan are: management of the + allocation of Internet address space and provision of a mechanism for + aggregation of routing information. The IP community has published + several RFCs and Internet-Drafts which describe the architecture for + IP address assignment and routing protocols which will promote the + deployment of CIDR. These documents have led to changes in the way + network address are allocated and have prompted enhancements to the + inter-domain and intra-domain routing protocols. + + With the CIDR prompted changes in the management of the allocation of + the Internet address space, allocation of blocks of Class C numbers + leads to an explosion of the routing tables. So, it is important + that the techniques for aggregating information in the routing + protocols keep pace with the change in the allocation of IP numbers. + + The IAB endorses the CIDR architecture and its implementation. In + addition, the IAB supports the actions taken by the IANA and + InterNIC, the router vendors, and the network operators to implement + CIDR to address the scaling problem that we are facing with the + growth of the Internet. + + + + + + +IAB [Page 1] + +RFC 1481 IAB on CIDR July 1993 + + +References + + [1] Fuller, V., Li, T., Yu, J., and K.
