Describe what a subnet mask is, and explain why it is used. The, detail how it is used to determine the network ID of an IP address.

A subnet mask is the 8-bit number used to determine the network and host portions of an IP address. It is used to divide an IP address into two parts that identify the host (computer), and the other identifies the (network) to which it belongs to. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number used to differentiate the network component of an IP address by dividing the IP address into a network address and host address. It does so with bit arithmetic whereby a network address is but multiplied by the subnet mask revealing the underlying subnetwork. They are used to design subnetworks, or subnets that connect local networks, by determining both the number and size of subnets where the size of a subnet is the number of hosts that can be addressed.
