Why not leave it as it used to be, but just add the "/" notation since most people still refer to the "Class" IP addresses. It would avoid confusion, and everybody knows what you mean when you refer to a network with the / notation. Ronald Kraaijer At 11:22 AM +0100 3/7/97, Yves Devillers wrote:

Instead of Class A, you could say "addresses in the range 1.0.0.0 - 126.255.255.255" or something, but this could be clumsy and why not use the term that means the same, anyway.
How about just:
0.0.0.0/2 (old 'A' space) 128.0.0.0/2 (old 'B' space) 192.0.0.0/2 (old 'C' space)
==> "Formerley known as" or "formerly named" is probably more precise (at least to non-english speakers) that "old" (how old is your A space ?)
