Classless Inter-Domain Routing: Technology, CIDR blocks & Overview

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR pronounced "cider" or /ˈsɪdər/ SID-ər) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet. Its goal was to slow the growth of routing tables on routers across the Internet…
