Monday marks a quarter century of classless routing, or CIDR.

25 years since Class A, B, and C addresses were the standard.

On #CIDRDay, saying "class C address" outside a historic/ironic context is a request for enthusiastic wedgies.

Otherwise: cider!

How will you celebrate? #sysadmin #netadmin

Seriously: if you can't handle enough binary math to do CIDR, or you can't use a cheat sheet and remember a few basic netmasks, you shouldn't be a #netadmin.

@somarasu I appreciate a person what knows his limits.

And I'm confident you could learn. I mean, if Mr English Degree here can do it, anyone can.

@mwlucas CIDR and IPv4 are fine. But 128-bit math IPv6 masking/prefixing get a bit taxing on the brain. ;-)

Speaking of which, CIDR day is on Monday. Any plans to celebrate?

Classless routing became an RFC on 24 Sept 1993. I hereby declare 24 Sept #CIDRDay. A quarter-century since classful routing was a thing. Celebrate by having a cider, and booting anyone who still talks about Class C addresses.
