Subnetwork addressing scheme
Overview
RFC 932, “Subnetwork addressing scheme”, is an Unknown document published in January 1985 by D.D. Clark. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC proposes an alternative addressing scheme for subnets which, in most cases, requires no modification to host software whatsoever. The drawbacks of this scheme are that the total number of subnets in any one network are limited, and that modification is required to all gateways.
What “Unknown” means
The standards-track status of this early RFC was never formally classified.
