1. It provides security.

In larger companies, employees must be able to communicate with other employees from that
department. Subnetting allows for the department to have its own subnetwork. Depending on how many
departments the company has, each one can have its own private and secure subnetwork, independent
from the other networks.
2. It allows organization of resources.
A company has several departments or types of resources: sales, customer care, IT, executive, research.
With subnetting, these resources can be organized within the larger network. For example:
192.168.130.x - Executive
192.168.131.x - Research
192.168.132.x - IT
192.168.133.x - Sales
192.168.134.x - Customer Care

3. It speeds up the network.

Using subnets will decrease the size of the broadcast domain, allowing data to reach its destination much
faster. For example, a network without subnetting:
192.168.x.y There are 255 possible values for x, and for each x there are 255 possible values for y.
This means that there are 255*255 possible recipients in the network broadcast domain.

Having such a large network broadcast domain means the signal must go through each possible recipient
until it finds the correct one. To decrease the number of possible recipients, we use subnets
