 The biggest distinction between classful and classless routing protocols is
that classful routing protocols do not send subnet mask information in their
routing updates. Classless routing protocols include subnet mask information
classful in the routing updates.

supernet
The routing prefix is expressed in CIDR notation. It is written as the first
address of a network, followed by a slash character (/), and ending with the
bit-length of the prefix. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is the prefix of the
Internet Protocol Version 4 network starting at the given address, having 24
bits allocated for the network prefix, and the remaining 8 bits reserved for
/24 host addressing.
