Classless Routing

Classless routing is a method used in computer networks to send data efficiently by using flexible address ranges instead of fixed categories, called classes. It allows network administrators to specify more precise and tailored address blocks, improving how data finds its way across the internet. This approach uses techniques like CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) to allocate IP addresses more effectively, reducing waste and accommodating the growing number of devices. Essentially, classless routing offers greater flexibility and efficiency in directing network traffic compared to traditional fixed-class methods.
