Classful addressing is based on a hierarchical IP address structure that groups addresses into classes, such as Class A, B, and C. This was the original form of IP addressing used until the development of classless addressing. Classless addressing, also known as Classless Inter–Domain Routing (CIDR), uses a method of allocating IP addresses in which the network address is used to define the prefix of the address and the host part is used to define its host portion. It is more efficient than classful addressing as it allows for more granular control over IP address allocation.
