Subnet mask
A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP
address has two components, the network address and the host address.
For example, consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is
part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (150.215) represent the
Class B network address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a
particular host on this network.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol – a suite of communication
protocol that defines the basic working of the Internet. In fact, TCP/IP is
the protocol of the Internet because it’s the language by which all Internet
computers talk to each other.
