The following question came up today:
Q1: Is it legal for TCP/IP to have a shorter than default
netmask? (i.e. IP address 192.168.1.11, Netmask 255.255.0.0)
Q2: Is this supported with Digital UNIX?
Thank's & Regards,
Arnold

I think this is what is called supernetting. Please read topics 5358 and 7596 for more infos. Pascal d'Ornano | |||||

Does this mean:
Q1: yes.
Q2: no.
What about other OS like VMS, NT, MacOS, ...?
Still looking for implications of this ...
