Isäntäverkkoja

Isäntäverkkoja, also known as master networks or host networks, refers to a concept in network architecture where a primary network serves as the foundation for multiple subordinate networks. This hierarchical structure allows for efficient management and organization of network resources. The master network typically handles core functionalities such as internet access, security policies, and central authentication.

Subordinate networks, often referred to as guest networks or client networks, are then built upon this master network. These networks can be isolated or have controlled access to the master network's resources. This separation is commonly employed for security and performance reasons. For example, a corporate office might have a main internal network (master network) for employees and a separate guest network for visitors, which has limited access to internal resources.

The implementation of isäntäverkkoja enables better control over traffic flow and resource allocation. It simplifies network administration by centralizing key management functions in the master network. This can also improve security by segmenting different user groups or device types, limiting the potential impact of security breaches. The ability to create and manage these distinct network segments is a fundamental aspect of modern network design.
