Supernetting

Supernetting
• The process of combining network address (like borrowing
from network bits) to extend the network size.
• The process of aggregating routes to improve throughput
performance of the net.

Route Summarization
1. Has to start with an even number
2. Has to be a contiguous group
3. Group size should be number series in power of 2
4. The 1st value should be divisible by its group size
