Technology and science fiction author Michael W. Lucas reports the adoption of Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) networking as a technology milestone in 1993. Back on 24 September 1993, the IETF published RFC 1519 thus designating Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) and variable length subnet masks as the standard which were further described in a series of RFCs. So Monday was the 25th anniversary of the occasion.
CIDR entry on Wikipedia notes:
Before the implementation of CIDR, IPv4 networks were represented by the starting address and the subnet mask, both written in dot-decimal notation. Thus, 192.168.100.0/24 was often written as 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0.

...of the CIDR house rules :) Coolness. Now if only I could bloody figure out IPv6! Those addresses are impossible compared to a nice, phone-number-size v4 addy.
