Happy #CIDRDay, everyone!

Today in 1993, Class A, B, and C addresses were deprecated in favor of classless addresses.

28 years ago.

If a computer person talks about Class C addresses, they are not competent

@mwlucas I am not incompetent, I am old.

Old habits and such.

@sblaydes I am also old. We gotta learn.

Especially when speaking to the next generation.

@mwlucas So what is the proper term for any network that is a /24?

Learned Class C as interchangeable with /24.

@sblaydes @mwlucas It's funny because /24 and class C aren't identical. C is specifically a /24 network in the range of 192.0.0 through 223.255.255

So you could just start being pedantic about it. That may cure some folks.

(I thought they were the same for many years)
