Define CIDR, including the full name for this acronym and why it is used.

What will be an ideal response?


Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is a method for generating blocks of IP addresses out of the original Classful IP networks—Class A, Class B, and Class C. The reason for using CIDR is to extend the use of the IPv4 address space and delay the inevitable day when there will be no more unallocated addresses.
