  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. Geographical renaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_renaming

    One of the most common reasons for a country changing its name is newly acquired independence. When borders are changed, sometimes due to a country splitting or two countries joining, the names of the relevant areas can change. This, however, is more the creation of a different entity than an act of geographical renaming. [citation needed]

  4. Dual naming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_naming

    Similarly, some places in New Zealand have dual Māori and English names, such as Aoraki / Mount Cook. [11] The practice of officially giving certain New Zealand places dual names began in the 1920s, [12] but dual names have become much more common in the 1990s and 2000s, in part due to Treaty of Waitangi settlements.

  5. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    The subnet mask or CIDR notation determines how the IP address is divided into network and host parts. The term subnet mask is only used within IPv4. Both IP versions however use the CIDR concept and notation. In this, the IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the network part, also called the routing ...

  6. Place name origins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_name_origins

    Many English places derive part of their name from the river upon which they were built, but in the 16th century many English rivers were renamed with back-formations from towns on their banks. Cambridge , perhaps uniquely, illustrates both effects: originally Grontabricc , a bridge on the Granta, the name became Cantebruge and then Cambrugge ...

    Places named for people can be found at List of places in the United States named after people. Some places have an indeterminate etymology, where it is known that they are named after a city in a particular country, but there is more than one place with that name and the etymology does not distinguish which one.

  9. 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 ...
