router - A device that routes data between networks through IP address information in the header of the IP packet. A router forwards packets to other routers until the packets reach their destination. The Internet is the largest example of a routed network.

subnet - A portion of a network. Each subnet within a network shares a common network address and is uniquely identified by a subnetwork number.

subnet mask - A 32-bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP address. A subnet mask subdivides an IP network into smaller pieces. An example of a subnet mask might be 255.255.255.248 for subnet with only eight IP addresses.
