2151. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A VARIABLE- LENGTH SUBNET MASKS SIMULATOR
Abstract
Variable- Length Subnet Masks (VLSM), often referred to as " subnetting a subnet", is used to maximize addressing efficiency. The network administrator is able to use a long mask on networks with few hosts, and a short mask on subnets with many hosts. This addressing scheme allows growth and does not involve wasting addresses. VLSM gives a way of subnetting a network with
minimal loses of IP addresses for a specific rang...
