Subnet Mask - Subnetting

   The subnet mask is used to divide a network into a further sub network within A private network. Subnetting can be used for security purpose in many cases it enable a network administrator to divide a college network for example into many departments like Botany, Art and Science group network.

   Subnetting is applied on host id we reserve host id bits for subnetting from left to right following example depict all aspects of operation 

What is Subnetting?

Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of the address into two or more subnets. In this case, a part of the host address is reserved to identify the particular subnet. This is easier to see if we show the IP address in binary format.

Narrowband ISDN

The first generation of ISDN is called as a narrowband ISDN and it is based on the use of 64 kbps channel as the basic unit of switching and has a circuit switching orientation. The main device in the narrowband ISDN is the frame relay. The second generation of ISDN is referred to as the broadband ISDN (B-ISDN).

Trunk in networking

Trunk

Trunk (Branches between exchanges) in networking is links which enables to connect many clients from a network through sharing a medium or wire frequency we can take example of tree for better understand of trunk.
Tree has a root and many branches whose fulfill their requirement from root.

A trunk is a single transmission channel between two points, each point being either the switching center or the node.
