I have seen a number of versions of that in reading things people sent me and things I found myself, and all of them seem to depend on ASICs that didn't exist at the time the ranges were chosen, and probably also CIDR which also didn't exist. They sound good, but I'm not buying em. :-)
Can't speak t the ASICs, but CIDR existed, even if your vendor was behind the times and still calling stuff class A/B/C. (Such nonsense persisted well into this century).
