It is disturbing how many job applicants talk in terms of Class B or Class C and don't understand CIDR. It screams "book learning, no real world experience". Please, *please* make sure that you warn people "You're learning classful routing for historical reasons; it's not just dead in practice, it's so dead that if you mention these terms in a job interview without having explicitly been asked for the historical names, it will probably count against you". A few other points you mention are in the same boat, but none so much as this one. It's a *really* strong indicator for little-understanding-but-read-the-terms. -Phil _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
