The address mask is used to identify the parts of an IP address that correspond to the different sections (separated by dots). It's also known as the "subnet mask" since the network portion of an address can be determined by the encoding inherent in an IP address.
a bit mask used to identify which bits in an address (usually an IP address) are network significant, subnet significant, and host significant portions of the complete address. This mask is also known as the subnet mask because the subnetwork portion of the address can be determined by comparing the binary version of the mask to an IP address in that subnet. The mask holds the same number of bits as the protocol address it references.
A bitmask used to select bits from an IP address. A logical ‘and' with the mask produces the network portion of the address. Hosts use address masks to determine if a destination IP address represents an adjacent host (allowing direct delivery), or if routing must be employed.
A 32-bit long mask used to select an IP address for subnet addressing. The mask selects the network portion of the IP address and one or more bits of the local LAN address.
This is used to recognize the sections of an IP address that concur with the different parts. Also known as the "subnet mask".
Bit combination used to describe which portion of an address refers to the network or subnet and which part refers to the host. Sometimes referred to simply as mask.
A bit mask used to identify which bits in an IP address correspondto the network and subnet portions of the address. This mask isoften referred to as the subnet mask because the network portionof the address can be determined by the encoding inherent in an IPaddress. address resolution
Bit combination used to describe the portion of an IP address that refers to the network or subnet and the part that refers to the host. Sometimes referred to as mask. See also subnet mask.
A bit mask used to identify which bits in an IP address correspond to the network and subnet portions of the address. This mask is often referred to as the subnet mask because the network portion of the address can be determined by the encoding inherent in an IP address.
A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet address.
A set of rules for omitting parts of a complete IP address in order to reach the target destination without using a broadcast message. The mask can, for example, indicate a subnetwork portion of a larger network. In TCP/IP, the address mask uses the 32-bit IP address.
