3.3.1 Benefits of the new addressing plan
There are two benefits to be had by deploying this plan:
- The current problem with depletion of the available class B
address space can be ameliorated by assigning more-
appropriately sized blocks of class C's to mid-sized
organizations (in the 200-4000 host range).
- When the improved inter-domain routing protocol is deployed,
an immediate decrease in the number routing table entries
should occur, followed by a significant reduction in the rate
growth of routing table size (for default-free routers).
