The Mathematical Reality of IP Addressin in IPv4...

Thu Aug 26 09:14:12 UTC 1999

You all are happy... for me the _good scientific language_ was the 
problem too...

But all this looks like a joke... Except one idea _we don't use all 
information keeping by the network masks_. Through it can improve the 
routing hierarchy, but not the address range (which is from 0.0.0.0 to 
223.255.254.254 wit a little exceptions). To increase address range 
Internet shgould use extra bits for the address, foir example by using 
two-level hierarchy schema (and it do this - by NAT translation, for 
example, bits from the PORT field are used as the address space).

THe more interesting issue for me is _is it possible to use 
Source-Routing_ for the hierarchical routing as well?

Through if someone translate this joke to the normal labguage, I'll 
appreciate too -:). Good paper - for the evening hours...
