subnets
Divided IP ranges
Subnets are subdivisions of a computer network, created by partitioning a larger network into smaller, more manageable segments.
Network administrators create subnets to improve performance, enhance security, and organize traffic: Each department has its own subnet.
The term is short for subnetworks.
In cloud computing, subnets define isolated sections within a virtual network: We deployed the database servers to a private subnet.
