In 1993, the IETF devised a shorthand method for identifying network and host bits in an IP address. What is this method, and how do you use it?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The method is known as CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) notation, or slash notation. CIDR notation takes the network ID or a host's IP address and follows it with a forward slash (/), which is then followed by the number of bits that are used for the network ID. For example, this private IP address could be written as 192.168.89.127/24, where 24 represents the number of 1s in the subnet mask and therefore the number of bits in the network ID. In CIDR terminology, the forward slash, plus the number of bits used for the network ID-for example, /24-is known as a CIDR block.

Determine from the wording of the problem, which value is v1 and which is v2. Compute percent change, rounding decimal answers to two places. Express your result in a sentence stating how much the second value is less or greater than the first value. For example: "This year's sales are 50 percent less than last year's sales."
