Some of these acronyms are specific to BGP. You could work in networking for years and not encounter some of them, especially if you aren't running BGP.

As far as "bibles" go, however, Halabi's _Internet Routing Architectures_ is the BGP variant.

TCP/IP Illustrated might not mention CIDR since it was still pretty new when those books were written. My copies haven't been opened in years so I can't be sure.

If you've performed any subnetting in the last 15 years or so, however, I fully expect that you have encountered CIDR.

That's because "ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, AfriNIC, LACNIC" are names of organizations, not technical terms.

The very first line has enough information to know what it does:

"A tool to enumerate CIDRs by querying RIRs & BGP ASN prefix lookups"

In other words, it queries two sources (regional Internet registries -- the organizations referred to above -- and information from the BGP protocol) to enumerate blocks of IP addresses.

Ah, but far from the only networking bible. You seem to have forgotten Halabi, Perlman, and a raft of others that discuss (at length) routing and the public Internet.
