Definition
A subdivision of a computer network that groups devices together for efficient data routing and security purposes.
Etymology
Modern compound from 'sub-' (under, below) and 'network', coined in the 1980s with the development of TCP/IP networking protocols. The concept emerged from the need to organize large networks hierarchically.
Kelly Says
Subnets are like neighborhoods within a city's postal system - they help organize internet traffic so your email doesn't get lost among billions of other data packets traveling the web simultaneously!
