相信读过TCP-IP详解的都知道这个问题,位于中文版vol 1 004里面 10. (3.5) Is the subnet mask
255.255.0.255 valid for a class A address? See RFC 1219 [Tsuchiya 1991]
for more info. This is available from the Networking I web page, as
well as from the usual sources. It's valid and it's called a
noncontiguous subnet mask since the 16 bits for the subnet mask are not
contiguous. The RFC's, however, recommend against using noncontiguous
subnet masks. //看到没,只是反对使用,没说不连续的子网掩码是非法的 在RFC 950 - Internet Standard
Subnetting Procedure中: Since the bits that identify the subnet are
specified by a bitmask, they need not be adjacent in the address.
However, we recommend that the subnet bits be contiguous and located as
the most significant bits of the local address RFC-950 [2] specifies a
procedure for subnetting Internet addresses using a bit-mask. While
RFC-950 allows the "ones" in the subnet mask to be
non-contiguous, RFC-950 recommends that 1) they be contiguous, and 2)
that they occupy the most significant bits of the "host" part
of the internet address.
