The purpose of this document is twofold. First, it describes various
alternatives for exchanging inter-domain routing information across
domain boundaries, where one of the peering domain is CIDR-capable and
another is not. Second, it addresses the implications of running CIDR-
capable inter-domain routing protocols (e.g., BGP-4, IDRP) on intra-
domain routing. This memo provides information for the Internet
community. It does not specify an Internet standard.
1519 Fuller Sep 93 Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR):
an Address Assignment and Aggregation
Strategy
This memo discusses 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.
