logical subdivision

[Jignesh77]

A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. Computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with an identical most-significant bit-group in their IP addresses.

It means not a physical subdivision, but one based in concepts, logic. In the programming, a 'space' or subdivision is created; it is not a physical entity.
