RFC 1797: Class A Subnet Experiment
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
There appears to be some interest in experimenting with subnetting the class A addresses. It is suggested that conducting an experiment now to identify and fix any software that does not properly handle subnetted class A addresses would be useful and important. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. This does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
