> With ever-increasing pressure to conserve IP address space on the
> Internet, it makes sense to consider where relatively minor changes
> can be made to fielded practice to improve numbering efficiency.  One
> such change, proposed by this document, is to halve the amount of
> address space assigned to point-to-point links (common throughout the
> Internet infrastructure) by allowing the use of 31-bit subnet masks
> in a very limited way.

> This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
