Does anybody know how users typically configure their hosts, when 
allocated CIDR blocks of contiguous class C networks? Are the hosts 
configured with a classless netmask (e.g. 193.1.1.1, 22) to form one 
supernet, or is the net configured as multiple class C nets connected to 
each other by routers? 

Thanks,
