Internet Protocol Address Subnetting. Being a developer I only have a vague idea... What about you? :)

I realise that you've put a smiley in, but that only served to further confuse me as to whether or not this was a rhetorical question.

I was going to write a long explanation but decided it would be easier to provide some pointers.

Here is an explanation of IP addressing: http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2002/IPaddressing.asp

Here is a short explanation of CIDR: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/CIDR.html

I can provide a fuller explanation of CIDR if anyone wants it.

I'm a developer too, but I know what subnetting is. Supernetting, on the other hand, is new to me. :D I learn something new every day on PPCT!

Looks cool! I don't think I'll use it enough to justify spending US$10 on it though... what little I do can be pretty easily accomplished with a plain ol' calculator...

Doesn't vxUtil (freeware IP toolkit) do this?

[Janak Parekh]

Hmm, 65% understand subnetting? Does this mean they know how to enter a subnet mask or they truly understand CIDR itself? :)

Next networking question of the day: how many people understand BGP4? (No-one, did you say? :D)

I understand how the protocol works in a vague sense... I've never been on a network large enough where I've had to USE BGP4...
