As described in Chapter 12, “Perspectives on IPv4 Subnetting,” the IP subnetting design process requires several choices. The designer must choose a specific private IP network, or obtain a registered public IP network. The designer may choose to use either a single mask or multiple masks when subnetting the network. (This book assumes a choice to use a single mask.) Finally, the designer must choose which single mask to use.
