In IPv4 & IPv6 articles
It's in them to some extent; it is the standard for IPv6 and subnet masks are deprecated in IPv4.
- I've changed "subnet mask" to "network prefix".
Many routers do this comparison with hardware assistance, and, in some cases, with ternary rather than binary masks. Howard C. Berkowitz 00:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'm never sure whether to edit an existing article like IPv4, or just write a new one when I need a quick explanation of a topic like CIDR notation. The need for a short explanation came up in an article on an email authentication method (SPF). In this case, an entire article on IPv4, or even CIDR, would be too much. --David MacQuigg 12:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
