The first subnet obtained from subnetting a larger network has all bits in the subnet bit group set to zero. It is therefore called subnet zero. [7] The last subnet obtained from subnetting a larger network has all bits in the subnet bit group set to one. It is therefore called the all-ones subnet. [8]
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈ s aɪ d ər, ˈ s ɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing.The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet.
There are several different non-equivalent definitions of "subnet" and this article will use the definition introduced in 1970 by Stephen Willard, [1] which is as follows: If = and = are nets in a set from directed sets and , respectively, then is said to be a subnet of (in the sense of Willard or a Willard–subnet [1]) if there exists a monotone final function: such that = ().
Classification of routing protocols for computer networks. A routing protocol specifies how routers communicate with each other to distribute information that enables them to select paths between nodes on a computer network.
This method of using the all-ones address was first proposed by R. Gurwitz and R. Hinden in 1982. [2] The later introduction of subnets and Classless Inter-Domain Routing changed this slightly, so that the all-ones value becomes the local broadcast address and the all-ones host address of each subnet is that subnet's directed broadcast address. [3]
Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

A network partition is a division of a computer network into relatively independent subnets, either by design, to optimize them separately, or due to the failure of network devices.
