  2. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Creating a subnet by dividing the host identifier. 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.

  3. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    As shown in the example below, in order to calculate the directed broadcast address to transmit a packet to an entire IPv4 subnet using the private IP address space 172.16.0.0 / 12, which has the subnet mask 255.240.0.0, the broadcast address is calculated as 172.16.0.0 bitwise ORed with 0.15.255.255 = 172.31.255.255. Directed broadcasts always ...

  4. Subnet (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    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 = ().

  5. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    A subnet mask is a bitmask that encodes the prefix length associated with an IPv4 address or network in quad-dotted notation: 32 bits, starting with a number of 1-bits equal to the prefix length, ending with 0-bits, and encoded in four-part dotted-decimal format: 255.255.255.0. A subnet mask encodes the same information as a prefix length but ...

  6. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    It is a set of one or more infrastructure basic service sets on a common logical network segment (i.e. same IP subnet and VLAN). [18] Key to the concept is that the participating basic service sets appear as a single network to the logical link control layer by using the same SSID.

  7. Wildcard mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_mask

    A wildcard mask can be thought of as an inverted subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match

  8. Supernetwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernetwork

    Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, Exterior Gateway Protocol and version 1 of the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1) assume classful addressing, and therefore cannot transmit the subnet mask information required for supernetting. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) supports CIDR. By default, EIGRP summarizes the routes within ...
