  • A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. Computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with an identical most-significant bit-group in their IP addresses.


  • A Subnet is a logical partition of an IP network into multiple, smaller network segment. It is typically used to subdivide large networks into smaller and more efficient subnetwork.


  • A subnetwork or strongsubnet/strong is a emlogical subdivision of an IP network/em. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting.br /For example, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask for the prefix 198.51.100.0/24.br /The main purpose of subnetworkstrong /strongis to uhelp relieve network congestion/u. Congestion used to be a bigger problem than it is today because it was more common for networks to use hubs than switches. When nodes on a network are connected through a hub, the entire network acts as a single collision domain.
