 The practice of dividing a network into two or more (sub) networks for
the purpose of network segmentation
 A network can be divided in 2n subnetworks of equal size
* where n = positive integer
Min. = 1
Max. = Suffix Length – 2
 The first step is to borrow n bit from the Suffix to the Prefix
 Ex.: Divide the network into 2 equally-sized subnetworks

 Number of equally-sized subnetworks = 2

 2n = 2
 n = 1 (the number of bit to be borrowed from Suffix to the Prefix)

 1st Subnetwork: 11001011.00000000.00000000.00000000 /9
