Netzsegments
Netzsegments, or network segments, are portions of a computer network that share a common addressing space and a common broadcast domain. They are defined by logical or physical boundaries that separate traffic, typically using routers, layer-3 switches, or firewalls. In modern networks, segments are often realized as subnets (IP address ranges with a subnet mask) or as VLANs on a single physical network.
The primary purpose of Netzsegments is to improve performance by limiting broadcast traffic and to enhance
Designing Netzsegments involves determining the required throughput and traffic patterns, security requirements, and isolation needs. An
Typical deployments include segments for user devices, servers, printers, DMZs for public-facing services, and guest networks.
