I would say for most of our customers, especially in the hosting space, a "class C" is a /24, they just don't know networking at all and build their hosting lans using /24s for each vlan. Very few of the requests that we get are submitted using CIDR notation. Personally, I think this is a big reason for random table bloat, I have had so many arguments about customers being able to aggregate announcements for BGP it is not even funny... the "I want to announce the blocks as a class Cs" request is irritatingly common.
It's been our general policy to always respond in CIDR notation whenever we get a request in class notation and to hope that our customers either figure out what that means on their own or ask us for clarification and learn something. IPv6 is helping because a lot of people seem to be making the connection that the "slash" notation is related between the two. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast Networks http://steadfast.net Phone: 312-602-2689 ext. 203 | Fax: 312-602-2688 | Cell: 312-320-5867
