What Are Subnets Used for?
Subnets offer a way of organizing your network to help to reduce network
congestion. When you have a lot of traffic flowing between particular parts of
your network, it can help to group those parts in a single section, so the traffic
doesn’t have to travel across the entire network to get from place to place.
Separating out small parts of your network into subnets allows traffic to flow more
quickly and to avoid taking unnecessary routes, adding traffic where it isn’t
needed.fsadfaa

In addition, subnetting helps in efficiently allocating IP addresses and prevents


large numbers of IP addresses from going unused. Subnets are usually set up
geographically for particular offices, or for particular teams within a business to
allow their network traffic to stay within the location.
