Was talking to one of the IT guys at work today and he mentioned that he had to work on something called a subnet. I tried Googling it but found myself even more confused on its definition.

It is a way to break down IP addresses into smaller sets. It allows the routers and computers to know what is “local” vs “outside” of the network. That way it can be determined if servers are here or if the traffic needs to be sent to the gateway.
