What is the other Name for Subnet?

IP stands for “Internet Protocol”. A communication protocol for computers connected to a network, especially the Internet, specifies the format for addresses and units of transmitted data. 

 The other name for the subnet is “Sub-networks” and in short, it is called “Subnets”. A process of subnetting was initially created to address the shortage of IP addresses on the Internet but has since evolved into an IP management best practice for IP network use.

Why Use Subnets?

Organizations use subnets to subdivide large networks into smaller, more efficient networks.

If we think about what this subnet is called so, subnets provide each group of devices have their own space to communicate, which ultimately helps the network to work easily.

An IP Subnet, often called a subnetwork, is a sub-division of an IP network. Subnetting allows a company to break its large network into smaller, more organized versions.

Apart from this, there are also three types of subnets:

  1. Application Subnet
  2. System Subnet
  3. European Subnet
