Since meeting Yakov years ago, I have always tried to teach network
designers to consider addressing and topology together. <br><br>
It hasn't always worked. Many don't care about network population
estimates and demographics, some don't recognize those terms, and, a few
just want enough Class C networks to get their job done for the
day.<br><br>
