ABSTRACT:
An IP address assignment scheme is described. The IP address assignment scheme is well suited for enabling an Internet Data Center (IDC) to assign IP addresses to its customers such that the IDC's network address space is efficiently utilized. The IP address assignment scheme utilizes variable length subnetting and class-less addressing. Moreover, the IP address assignment scheme ensures that customers are provided sufficient IP addresses for the customers' future expansion needs.
