When I first saw that when struggling with MiNT network, I wondered why there is no subnet mask in the route table, like in decent operating systems.

In the destination field, which ones are single host addresses and which ones are network addresses (= joker) ? I guess the addresses should be split using their natural subnet mask, according to their (obsolete) address class. Then if the host bits are all set to 0, the whole thing is considered to be the address of a network ?
