Chapter 5, Problem R10RQ
Explanation of Solution
Subnet:
Subnet is defined as a logical sub portion of larger network which does not contain router. It represent a set of all machines at one geographical location or one building or on the same Local Area Network. If the network is divided into subnets, then the Internet can be connected with the help of single shared network.
Prefix:
A prefix is the network portion of a “CIDRized” (Classless Inter Domain Routing) address which represent a subnet or collection of subnet. It generalizes the notation of subnet addressing. The general notation for “CIDRized” address can be written in the form of “a...
