What does SUBNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A separate section of a larger computer network, set apart so that its devices share one range of addresses.
Network engineers create a subnet to keep traffic local, add security and make a big network easier to manage. Devices on the same subnet can usually talk to one another directly, while traffic to other subnets passes through a router. The size of the range is set by a mask, a number written next to the address, and the word is a shortened form of subnetwork.
