Paul,
Does that mean that all the internet registries no longer allocate /24 (or longer) prefixes that have nothing to do with the actual Internet topology (these prefixes aka "portable addresses") ? Perhaps folks from various Internet registries would be able to answer this question.
Immaterial. What matters is if providers continue to route them.
CIDR works as long as addresses are assigned in a topologically significant fashion. And this precondition is crucial.
Not quite. CIDR works. Routing remains stable when providers route prefixes in a topological fashion.
Yakov.
