Subject: max number of subnets/addresses?
Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 10:42:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <446B5258.5000803@nortel.com> (raw)


I've been asked a couple of questions by our engineering guys.

1) Is there any inherent limit on the number of IP addresses that can be 
configured on an interface?

2) Is there any inherent limit on the number of subnets that a linux 
host can have configured at any given time?

If anyone could answer these off the top of their head, it would save me 
some time digging through unfamiliar code.

Thanks,

Chris
