Study Notes
TCP/IP Subnet Mask
- Subnet mask determines if a host is local or on a remote network.
- Crucial for TCP/IP communication.
Default Gateway
- Routers connect local subnets to other networks.
- A router specified on a host is the default gateway.
- Hosts use the default gateway to communicate with other networks.
