SUBNETTING
BENEFIT OF SUBNETTING :
Subnetting divides broadcast domains, meaning that traffic is routed efficiently, improving speed and network performance
A subnet mask ensures that traffic remains within its designated subnet. This reduces major congestion and reduces the load imparted on the network. With sub-networks, less distance needs to be traveled by data packets, enhancing network performance
With different subnets within your larger network, you can be more aware of route maps. These will help you to identify potential threats. With subnets, devices will not be able to access the whole network, meaning that companies can dictate which hardware and users have access to more sensitive data
Sound organization is crucial within large businesses. This extends to your newtork and routers. With subnetting, companies have full control over their traffic and data packets
WHAT IS SUBNETTING?
Subnetting is to create a fast, efficient, and resilient computer network to become larger and more complex of network. The traffic traveling through them needs more efficient routes.
If all network traffic was traveling across the system at the same time using the same route, bottlenecks and congestion would occur resulting in sluggish and inefficient backlogs.
Subnetting allows you to divide one physical network whether a class A, B, or C into several smaller logical subnetworks.
The main idea of subnetting is borrowing bits from the host IP address and using them to create one or more networks within the network.
Furthermore, It permits using two or more local area networks (LANs) technology in the same network such as Ethernet and Toking ring.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
IP addresses help to identify the pieces of hardware connected to your network. To locate a particular device you would need to organize the IP addresses in a logical way. This is where subnetting excels as a tool to help you maintain efficiency across your network.
There could be hundreds of thousands of devices that are connected within a network. This means that the corresponding IP addresses can create a complex route that traffic has to travel. Subnetting limits the IP address usage to within a few devices. This allows an engineer to use subnetting to create sub-networks, sorting data so that it can travel without touching every part of the more complex routers. In order to do this, an engineer needs to match each IP address class to a subnet mask.
A subnet mask echoes an IP address, but it can only be utilized within an internal network. This mask helps to identify which part of the IP address relates to the network and which part relates to the host. This means that specific data is sent on particular routes according to its destination. A subnet mask creates the tool which enables a router to match an IP address with a sub-network.

WHY NEED SUBNETTING?
Organizing a network in an efficient way is crucial for large firms and those companies seeking to expand technologically. IP addresses can be kept geographically localized meaning that a subnet can be used for specific staffing structures to maintain efficiency and order.
