About classfulness: I think it's more relevant, even today, than many people like to admit. Why is it that I can type "network 192.0.2.0" in my Cisco BGP config and the box knows what I'm talking about, but "network 192.0.2.0/24" is no good?
That is because Cisco is quite classful-centric, still. I think defaults for netmasks, based on classes, are very bad. They cause trouble (like the time a certain ISP announced 62/8 to all it's peers on AMS-IX). Cisco should support the /n notation!
