subnetted
Split into segments
Subnetted describes a computer network that has been divided into smaller, distinct segments called subnets.
Network administrators subnet large networks to improve performance, enhance security, or organize traffic: The IT department subnetted the corporate network so each floor operates independently.
The practice allows more efficient use of IP addresses and isolates network problems to smaller areas.
