A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical subdivision of an IP network. [1]: 1, 16 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 group of its most-significant bits of their IP addresses.
The ISP might then assign subnetworks to each of their downstream clients, e.g., Customer A will have the range 172.1.1.0 to 172.1.1.255, Customer B would receive the range 172.1.2.0 to 172.1.2.255 and Customer C would receive the range 172.1.3.0 to 172.1.3.255, and so on. Instead of an entry for each of the subnets 172.1.1.x and 172.1.2.x, etc ...
The IP address in CIDR notation is always represented according to the standards for IPv4 or IPv6. The address may denote a specific interface address (including a host identifier, such as 10.0.0.1 / 8), or it may be the beginning address of an entire network (using a host identifier of 0, as in 10.0.0.0 / 8 or its equivalent 10 / 8).
Current (local, "this") network [1] 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255 16 777 216: Private network Used for local communications within a private network [3] 100.64.0.0/10 100.64.0.0–100.127.255.255 4 194 304: Private network Shared address space [4] for communications between a service provider and its subscribers when using a carrier ...
The remaining 24 bits specified the local address, also called rest field (the rest of the address), which uniquely identified a host connected to that network. [1] This format was sufficient at a time when only a few large networks existed, such as the ARPANET (network number 10), and before the wide proliferation of local area networks (LANs ...
NOTE: a RID is the highest logical (loopback) IP address configured on a router, if no logical/loopback IP address is set then the router uses the highest IP address configured on its active interfaces (e.g. 192.168.0.1 would be higher than 10.1.1.2). Usually the router with the second-highest priority number becomes the BDR.

A layer-3 segment in an IP network is called a subnetwork, formed by all nodes sharing the same network prefix as defined by their IP addresses and the network mask. [5] Communication between layer-3 subnets requires a router. Hosts on a subnet communicate directly using the layer-2 segment that connects them.
