netværksmaske
A netværksmaske, or subnet mask in English, is a crucial component in network configuration, particularly within TCP/IP networks. It is used to divide an IP address into two parts: a network address and a host address. This division allows for efficient routing of data packets within a network and across different networks.
The netværksmaske is typically represented in a format similar to an IP address, using dotted-decimal notation.
The binary representation of the netværksmaske is key to its function. It consists of a contiguous sequence
Subnetting, the process of dividing a larger network into smaller subnetworks, relies heavily on the netværksmaske.
