By distinguishing apparently identical IP addresses by using different
subnet masks one can increase the number of IP addresses distinguishable by
a 32-bit number to greater than 2^32.
yeah, then you'll need a minor adjustment to the routing table size when
corporations and providers want to change networks or multihome.
Except for the problem that you need 32 extra bits to carry a mask or 5
extra bits to carry the masklen.
nice try, next topic please.
