        Why is is necessary insist that using bits in a fashion that doesn't require that growth be predicated on requests for additional resources be considered wasteful?
Don't we still need to subnet in a reasonably small fashion in order to contain broadcasts, ill-behaved machines, and other regular discovery crap that exists on any given segment? And if we have to segment in such a fashion, the request and allocation of additional resources is a natural consequence of such containment. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
