Layers 1,2,3 of the OSI Stack. I guess what I should have said was Subnet. >A subnet is what you get when you finish subnetting. One is a noun, one is a >verb.

Correct there. Classless Inter Domain Routing, never really got into doing that. Largest I have dealt with was 1500 nodes and cidr is not needed there. My main thing has always been getting a network provider to also provide failover redudance. Had one dealing with lighting fiber and that was a nightmare. Maybe I can get a few CIDR pointers from you. :-) JohnStanley
