I always viewed CIDR as a logical extension of subnets (the ability to own
a A, B or C address and break it up into smaller networks within your
organization). And it is clear who invented subnets -- that was Jeff
Mogul (that's my memory and RFC 917 [published 1984] supports that
recollection).
In the context of Noel's note, Jeff was at Stanford at the time (I can't
recall in what capacity).
Thanks!
