Recently in Xie Xiren "computer network" fifth edition, read CIDR part, is 137 and 136 in the book, The author mentions "without using CIDR, in 1994 and 1995, a routing table of the Internet will be more than 70000 projects, and after using the CIDR, in 1996 a number of routing table was only more than 30000", The meaning of this passage is CIDR sharply reduced the number of routing table project, could you tell me what this mean?
My understanding is that the original routing table to write down each subnet network number, now only need to write a CIDR network number, But, this how to implement?
For example, a router R1, connected to the R2, the export of R2 1 has three subnet 172.30.1.0, 172.30.2.0, 172.30.3.0 Original routing table wrote three subnet network number, use the CIDR, write a 172.30.0.0?
There is a problem, divided into subnets, must be the same interface is connected to the router?
