Maybe I'm missing something, but if someone at what I think of at the
CCIE level can't cope with any standard address range, without
slowing down at all, they aren't ready.
In some practice scenarios that I'll soon have available, I use a
combination of address ranges. One part of the topology is
deliberately classless. Another part is classful but can be treated
as classless, but is there to be able to create discontiguous network
and similar classful-related problems. Yet other ranges are used for
connection to external simulated ISPs, and there's also the
equivalent of a provider-assigned range to which one would NAT.
