Please excuse the cross-posting to TCP/IP, BIGLAN, and IBMNETS.

We are in the thinking/planning stage for our campus network.
We are considering creating different classes of subnets
analogous to the classes of internet addresses.  In his TCP/IP
book Comer says that this is possible but that most sites prefer
fixed subnet masks.

Are there sites with subnet classes?  If so, what has your
experience been?
