Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be s eparated based
on the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form
of packets. IP subnets advance net wor k security and performance to
some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks
contain four bytes and usually appear in th e same "dotted dec imal"
