Subnets Insights

What is Subnets?

A subnet, or subnetwork, 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 the same subnet are addressed with an identical most-significant bit-group in their IP addresses. This results in reduced network congestion, improved security, and more efficient address allocation. Subnets are commonly used in larger networks to improve network performance and manageability.
