If   subnetting is implemented it is strongly recommended that these   procedures be followed.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.Overview   This memo discusses the utility of "subnets" of Internet networks,   which are logically visible sub-sections of a single Internet   network.  For administrative or technical reasons, many organizations   have chosen to divide one Internet network into several subnets,   instead of acquiring a set of Internet network numbers.  This memo   specifies procedures for the use of subnets.  These procedures are   for hosts (e.g., workstations).  The procedures used in and between   subnet gateways are not fully described.  Important motivation and   background information for a subnetting standard is provided inRFC-940 [7].Acknowledgment   This memo is based onRFC-917 [1].  Many people contributed to the   development of the concepts described here.  J. Noel Chiappa, Chris   Kent, and Tim Mann, in particular, provided important suggestions.   Additional contributions in shaping this memo were made by Zaw-Sing   Su, Mike Karels, and the Gateway Algorithms and Data Structures Task   Force (GADS).Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 1]

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure1.  Motivation   The original view of the Internet universe was a two-level hierarchy:   the top level the Internet as a whole, and the level below it   individual networks, each with its own network number.  The Internet   does not have a hierarchical topology, rather the interpretation of   addresses is hierarchical.  In this two-level model, each host sees   its network as a single entity; that is, the network may be treated   as a "black box" to which a set of hosts is connected.   While this view has proved simple and powerful, a number of   organizations have found it inadequate, and have added a third level   to the interpretation of Internet addresses.  In this view, a given   Internet network is divided into a collection of subnets.   The three-level model is useful in networks belonging to moderately   large organizations (e.g., Universities or companies with more than   one building), where it is often necessary to use more than one LAN   cable to cover a "local area".  Each LAN may then be treated as a   subnet.   There are several reasons why an organization might use more than one   cable to cover a campus:      - Different technologies:  Especially in a research environment,        there may be more than one kind of LAN in use; e.g., an        organization may have some equipment that supports Ethernet, and        some that supports a ring network.      - Limits of technologies:  Most LAN technologies impose limits,        based on electrical parameters, on the number of hosts        connected, and on the total length of the cable.  It is easy to        exceed these limits, especially those on cable length.      - Network congestion:  It is possible for a small subset of the        hosts on a LAN to monopolize most of the bandwidth.  A common        solution to this problem is to divide the hosts into cliques of        high mutual communication, and put these cliques on separate        cables.      - Point-to-Point links:  Sometimes a "local area", such as a        university campus, is split into two locations too far apart to        connect using the preferred LAN technology.  In this case,        high-speed point-to-point links might connect several LANs.   An organization that has been forced to use more than one LAN has   three choices for assigning Internet addresses:Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 2]

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure      1. Acquire a distinct Internet network number for each cable;         subnets are not used at all.      2. Use a single network number for the entire organization, but         assign host numbers without regard to which LAN a host is on         ("transparent subnets").      3. Use a single network number, and partition the host address         space by assigning subnet numbers to the LANs ("explicit         subnets").   Each of these approaches has disadvantages.  The first, although not   requiring any new or modified protocols, results in an explosion in   the size of Internet routing tables.  Information about the internal   details of local connectivity is propagated everywhere, although it   is of little or no use outside the local organization.  Especially as   some current gateway implementations do not have much space for   routing tables, it would be good to avoid this problem.   The second approach requires some convention or protocol that makes   the collection of LANs appear to be a single Internet network.  For   example, this can be done on LANs where each Internet address is   translated to a hardware address using an Address Resolution Protocol   (ARP), by having the bridges between the LANs intercept ARP requests   for non-local targets, seeRFC-925 [2].  However, it is not possible   to do this for all LAN technologies, especially those where ARP   protocols are not currently used, or if the LAN does not support   broadcasts.  A more fundamental problem is that bridges must discover   which LAN a host is on, perhaps by using a broadcast algorithm.  As   the number of LANs grows, the cost of broadcasting grows as well;   also, the size of translation caches required in the bridges grows   with the total number of hosts in the network.   The third approach is to explicitly support subnets.  This does have   a disadvantage, in that it is a modification of the Internet   Protocol, and thus requires changes to IP implementations already in   use (if these implementations are to be used on a subnetted network).   However, these changes are relatively minor, and once made, yield a   simple and efficient solution to the problem.  Also, the approach   avoids any changes that would be incompatible with existing hosts on   non-subnetted networks.   Further, when appropriate design choices are made, it is possible for   hosts which believe they are on a non-subnetted network to be used on   a subnetted one, as explained inRFC-917 [1].  This is useful when it   is not possible to modify some of the hosts to support subnets   explicitly, or when a gradual transition is preferred.Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 3]

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure2.  Standards for Subnet Addressing   This section first describes a proposal for interpretation of   Internet addresses to support subnets.  Next it discusses changes to   host software to support subnets.  Finally, it presents a procedures   for discovering what address interpretation is in use on a given   network (i.e., what address mask is in use).   2.1. Interpretation of Internet Addresses      Suppose that an organization has been assigned an Internet network      number, has further divided that network into a set of subnets,      and wants to assign host addresses: how should this be done?      Since there are minimal restrictions on the assignment of the      "local address" part of the Internet address, several approaches      have been proposed for representing the subnet number:         1. Variable-width field:  Any number of the bits of the local            address part are used for the subnet number; the size of            this field, although constant for a given network, varies            from network to network.  If the field width is zero, then            subnets are not in use.         2. Fixed-width field:  A specific number of bits (e.g., eight)            is used for the subnet number, if subnets are in use.         3. Self-encoding variable-width field:  Just as the width            (i.e., class) of the network number field is encoded by its            high-order bits, the width of the subnet field is similarly            encoded.         4. Self-encoding fixed-width field:  A specific number of bits            is used for the subnet number.         5. Masked bits:  Use a bit mask ("address mask") to identify            which bits of the local address field indicate the subnet            number.      What criteria can be used to choose one of these five schemes?      First, should we use a self-encoding scheme?  And, should it be      possible to tell from examining an Internet address if it refers      to a subnetted network, without reference to any other      information?         An interesting feature of self-encoding is that it allows theMogul & Postel                                                  [Page 4]

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure         address space of a network to be divided into subnets of         different sizes, typically one subnet of half the address space         and a set of small subnets.            For example, consider a class C network that uses a            self-encoding scheme with one bit to indicate if it is the            large subnet or not and an additional three bits to identify            the small subnet.  If the first bit is zero then this is the            large subnet, if the first bit is one then the following            bits (3 in this example) give the subnet number.  There is            one subnet with 128 host addresses, and eight subnets with            16 hosts each.         To establish a subnetting standard the parameters and         interpretation of the self-encoding scheme must be fixed and         consistent throughout the Internet.         It could be assumed that all networks are subnetted.  This         would allow addresses to be interpreted without reference to         any other information.            This is a significant advantage, that given the Internet            address no additional information is needed for an            implementation to determine if two addresses are on the same            subnet.  However, this can also be viewed as a disadvantage:            it may cause problems for networks which have existing host            numbers that use arbitrary bits in the local address part.            In other words, it is useful to be able to control whether a            network is subnetted independently from the assignment of            host addresses.         The alternative is to have the fact that a network is subnetted         kept separate from the address.  If one finds, somehow, that         the network is subnetted then the standard self-encoded         subnetted network address rules are followed, otherwise the         non-subnetted network addressing rules are followed.      If a self-encoding scheme is not used, there is no reason to use a      fixed-width field scheme: since there must in any case be some      per-network "flag" to indicate if subnets are in use, the      additional cost of using an integer (a subnet field width or      address mask) instead of a boolean is negligible.  The advantage      of using the address mask scheme is that it allows each      organization to choose the best way to allocate relatively scarce      bits of local address to subnet and host numbers.  Therefore, we      choose the address-mask scheme: it is the most flexible scheme,      yet costs no more to implement than any other.Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 5]

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure      For example, the Internet address might be interpreted as:         <network-number><subnet-number><host-number>      where the <network-number> field is as defined by IP [3], the      <host-number> field is at least 1-bit wide, and the width of the      <subnet-number> field is constant for a given network.  No further      structure is required for the <subnet-number> or <host-number>      fields.  If the width of the <subnet-number> field is zero, then      the network is not subnetted (i.e., the interpretation of [3] is      used).      For example, on a Class B network with a 6-bit wide subnet field,      an address would be broken down like this:                           1                   2                   3       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+      |1 0|        NETWORK            |  SUBNET   |    Host Number    |      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+      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.      Special Addresses:         From the Assigned Numbers memo [9]:            "In certain contexts, it is useful to have fixed addresses            with functional significance rather than as identifiers of            specific hosts.  When such usage is called for, the address            zero is to be interpreted as meaning "this", as in "this            network".  The address of all ones are to be interpreted as            meaning "all", as in "all hosts".  For example, the address            128.9.255.255 could be interpreted as meaning all hosts on            the network 128.9.  Or, the address 0.0.0.37 could be            interpreted as meaning host 37 on this network."         It is useful to preserve and extend the interpretation of these         special addresses in subnetted networks.  This means the values         of all zeros and all ones in the subnet field should not be         assigned to actual (physical) subnets.            In the example above, the 6-bit wide subnet field may have            any value except 0 and 63.Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 6]

Changes to Host Software to Support Subnets      In most implementations of IP, there is code in the module that      handles outgoing datagrams to decide if a datagram can be sent      directly to the destination on the local network or if it must be      sent to a gateway.      Generally the code is something like this:         IF ip_net_number(dg.ip_dest) = ip_net_number(my_ip_addr)             THEN                 send_dg_locally(dg, dg.ip_dest)             ELSE                 send_dg_locally(dg,                                  gateway_to(ip_net_number(dg.ip_dest)))      (If the code supports multiply-connected networks, it will be more      complicated, but this is irrelevant to the current discussion.)      To support subnets, it is necessary to store one more 32-bit      quantity, called my_ip_mask.  This is a bit-mask with bits set in      the fields corresponding to the IP network number, and additional      bits set corresponding to the subnet number field.      The code then becomes:         IF bitwise_and(dg.ip_dest, my_ip_mask)                                   = bitwise_and(my_ip_addr, my_ip_mask)             THEN                 send_dg_locally(dg, dg.ip_dest)             ELSE                 send_dg_locally(dg,                        gateway_to(bitwise_and(dg.ip_dest, my_ip_mask)))      Of course, part of the expression in the conditional can be      pre-computed.      It may or may not be necessary to modify the "gateway_to"      function, so that it too takes the subnet field bits into account      when performing comparisons.      To support multiply-connected hosts, the code can be changed toMogul & Postel                                                  [Page 7]

Finding the Address Mask      How can a host determine what address mask is in use on a subnet      to which it is connected?  The problem is analogous to several      other "bootstrapping" problems for Internet hosts: how a host      determines its own address, and how it locates a gateway on its      local network.  In all three cases, there are two basic solutions:      "hardwired" information, and broadcast-based protocols.      Hardwired information is that available to a host in isolation      from a network.  It may be compiled-in, or (preferably) stored in      a disk file.  However, for the increasingly common case of a      diskless workstation that is bootloaded over a LAN, neither      hardwired solution is satisfactory.      Instead, since most LAN technology supports broadcasting, a better      method is for the newly-booted host to broadcast a request for the      necessary information.  For example, for the purpose of      determining its Internet address, a host may use the "Reverse      Address Resolution Protocol" (RARP) [4].      However, since a newly-booted host usually needs to gather several      facts (e.g., its IP address, the hardware address of a gateway,      the IP address of a domain name server, the subnet address mask),      it would be better to acquire all this information in one request      if possible, rather than doing numerous broadcasts on the network.      The mechanisms designed to boot diskless workstations can also      load per-host specific configuration files that contain the      required information (e.g., seeRFC-951 [8]).  It is possible, and      desirable, to obtain all the facts necessary to operate a host      from a boot server using only one broadcast message.      In the case where it is necessary for a host to find the address      mask as a separate operation the following mechanism is provided:         To provide the address mask information the ICMP protocol [5]         is extended by adding a new pair of ICMP message types,         "Address Mask Request" and "Address Mask Reply", analogous to         the "Information Request" and "Information Reply" ICMP         messages.  These are described in detail inAppendix I.         The intended use of these new ICMP messages is that a host,         when booting, broadcast an "Address Mask Request" message.

If there         is no indication in the request which host sent it (i.e., the         IP Source Address is zero), the reply is broadcast as well.         The requesting host will hear the response, and from it         determine the address mask.         Since there is only one possible value that can be sent in an         "Address Mask Reply" on any given LAN, there is no need for the         requesting host to match the responses it hears against the         request it sent; similarly, there is no problem if more than         one gateway responds.  We assume that hosts reboot         infrequently, so the broadcast load on a network from use of         this protocol should be small.      If a host is connected to more than one LAN, it might have to find      the address mask for each.      One potential problem is what a host should do if it can not find      out the address mask, even after a reasonable number of tries.      Three interpretations can be placed on the situation:         1. The local net exists in (permanent) isolation from all other            nets.         2. Subnets are not in use, and no host can supply the address            mask.         3. All gateways on the local net are (temporarily) down.      The first and second situations imply that the address mask is      identical with the Internet network number mask.  In the third      situation, there is no way to determine what the proper value is;      the safest choice is thus a mask identical with the Internet      network number mask.  Although this might later turn out to be      wrong, it will not prevent transmissions that would otherwise      succeed.  It is possible for a host to recover from a wrong      choice: when a gateway comes up, it should broadcast an "Address      Mask Reply"; when a host receives such a message that disagrees      with its guess, it should change its mask to conform to the      received value.  No host or gateway should send an "Address Mask      Reply" based on a "guessed" value.      Finally, note that no host is required to use this ICMP protocol      to discover the address mask; it is perfectly reasonable for a      host with non-volatile storage to use stored information      (including a configuration file from a boot server).Mogul & Postel                                                  [Page 9]

To form an address mask reply message, the source address of            the request becomes the destination address of the reply,            the source address of the reply is set to the replier's            address, the type code changed to AM2, the address mask            value inserted into the Address Mask field, and the checksum            recomputed.

RFC 950                                                      August 1985Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure            complement sum of the ICMP message starting with the ICMP            Type.  For computing the checksum, the checksum field should            be zero.  This checksum may be replaced in the future.         Identifier            An identifier to aid in matching requests and replies, may            be zero.         Sequence Number            A sequence number to aid in matching requests and replies,            may be zero.         Address Mask            A 32-bit mask.      Description         A gateway receiving an address mask request should return it         with the address mask field set to the 32-bit mask of the bits         identifying the subnet and network, for the subnet on which the         request was received.         If the requesting host does not know its own IP address, it may         leave the source field zero; the reply should then be         broadcast.  However, this approach should be avoided if at all         possible, since it increases the superfluous broadcast load on         the network.  Even when the replies are broadcast, since there         is only one possible address mask for a subnet, there is no         need to match requests with replies.  The "Identifier" and         "Sequence Number" fields can be ignored.            Type AM1 may be received from a gateway or a host.            Type AM2 may be received from a gateway, or a host acting in            lieu of a gateway.Mogul & Postel                                                 [Page 11]

Examples   These examples show how a host can find out the address mask using   the ICMP Address Mask Request and Address Mask Reply messages.  For   the following examples, assume that address 255.255.255.255 denotes   "broadcast to this physical medium" [6].   1.  A Class A Network Case      For this case, assume that the requesting host is on class A      network 36.0.0.0, has address 36.40.0.123, that there is a gateway      at 36.40.0.62, and that a 8-bit wide subnet field is in use, that      is, the address mask is 255.255.0.0.      The most efficient method, and the one we recommend, is for a host      to first discover its own address (perhaps using "RARP" [4]), and      then to send the ICMP request to 255.255.255.255:         Source address:          36.40.0.123         Destination address:     255.255.255.255         Protocol:                ICMP = 1         Type:                    Address Mask Request = AM1         Code:                    0         Mask:                    0      The gateway can then respond directly to the requesting host.         Source address:          36.40.0.62         Destination address:     36.40.0.123         Protocol:                ICMP = 1         Type:                    Address Mask Reply = AM2         Code:                    0         Mask:                    255.255.0.0      Suppose that 36.40.0.123 is a diskless workstation, and does not      know even its own host number.  It could send the following      datagram:         Source address:          0.0.0.0         Destination address:     255.255.255.255         Protocol:                ICMP = 1         Type:                    Address Mask Request = AM1         Code:                    0         Mask:                    0      36.40.0.62 will hear the datagram, and should respond with this      datagram:Mogul & Postel                                                 [Page 12]

Even so, the over use of broadcasts presents an      unnecessary load to all hosts on the subnet, and so the use of the      "anonymous" (0.0.0.0) source address must be kept to a minimum.      If broadcasting is not allowed, we assume that hosts have wired-in      information about neighbor gateways; thus, 36.40.0.123 might send      this datagram:         Source address:          36.40.0.123         Destination address:     36.40.0.62         Protocol:                ICMP = 1         Type:                    Address Mask Request = AM1         Code:                    0         Mask:                    0      36.40.0.62 should respond exactly as in the previous case.

A Class B Network Case      For this case, assume that the requesting host is on class B      network 128.99.0.0, has address 128.99.4.123, that there is a      gateway at 128.99.4.62, and that a 6-bit wide subnet field is in      use, that is, the address mask is 255.255.252.0.      The host sends the ICMP request to 255.255.255.255:         Source address:          128.99.4.123         Destination address:     255.255.255.255         Protocol:                ICMP = 1         Type:                    Address Mask Request = AM1         Code:                    0         Mask:                    0Mogul & Postel                                                 [Page 13]
