- According to RFC 950 only one subnetmask is allowed for an IP network:
-
- I don't think this is true - RFC950 is not highly clear on
- the point, but it does seem to suggest that different masks
- on different interfaces is possible - and it never says that
- that should only happen if the different interfaces are on
- different nets.
-
- The problem was never really the spec, but the implementations,
- which with any luck will be gradually getting fixed.
-
- Not only does OSPF transport subnet masks around, so does
- RIP-II. I'd assume that anything RIP can do IGRP will have
- to do too...
