IP addresses deliver packets of data across a network. These addresses differentiate the
source and destination IP address and keep them constant. When a router port detects a
packet, the router checks the routing table. The port attempts to match the network number of
the destination IP address with its routing table entry. If the port finds a match, it forwards the
packet to the destination network. With no match, the port forwards the packet to a router
defined as the default gateway.
Subnet masks split one network into a set of mini networks or subnets. Subnetting helps to
reduce traffic on each subnet. Subnetting also makes the network more manageable. Each
subnet functions as if it were an independent network.
