8. Transition to a Long-Term Solution

  1. Transition to a Long-Term Solution

CIDR was designed to be a short-term solution to the problems of

routing state and address depletion on the IPv4 Internet. It does

not change the fundamental Internet routing or addressing

architectures. It is not expected to affect any plans for transition

to a more long-term solution except, perhaps, by delaying the urgency

of developing such a solution.
