Technical Summary
 
 This memo discusses the strategy for address assignment of the
 existing 32-bit IPv4 address space with a view toward conserving the

 This document obsoletes the original CIDR spec [RFC1519], with
 changes made both to clarify the concepts it introduced and, after
 more than twelve years, to update the Internet community on the
 results of deploying the technology described.
