IP SUBNET:

IP Subnet address ::

IP networks can be divided into smaller networks called subnetworks (or subnets). Subnet provides the network administrator with several benefits, including extra flexibility, more efficient use of network addresses, and the ability to broadcast traffic (a broadcast will not cross a router) have.
 Subnets are under local administration.

As such, the outside world sees an organization as a single network and have no detailed knowledge of the organization's internal structure. A given network address can be broken up into many subnetworks.

For example, 172.16.1.0, 172.16.2.0, 172.16.3.0 and 172.16.4.0 are all subnets within network 171.16.0.0. (All 0s in host portion of an address specify the network.)
