Subnetting
When a bigger network is divided into smaller networks, in order to maintain security, then that is known as Subnetting. so, maintenance is easier for smaller networks.
OR
Subnetting is a process of dividing a single large network in multiple smaller networks. A single large network is just like a town without any sector and street address. In such a town, a postman may take 3 to 4 days in finding a single address. While if town is divided in sectors and streets, he can easily find any address in less than one hour.
-> Computer networks also follow the same concept. In computer networking, Subnetting is used to divide a large IP network in smaller IP networks known as subnets.
-> A default class A, B and C network provides 16777214, 65534, 254 hosts respectively. Having so many hosts in a single network always creates several issues such as broadcast, collision, congestion, etc.
-> Computers use broadcast messages to access and provide information in network. A broadcast message is an announcement message in computer network which is received by all hosts in network.
