Subnet Mask

The document shows subnet mask tables for Class B, C, and A networks. It lists the number of bits in the subnet mask, the mask itself, the number of effective subnets that mask allows, and the maximum number of hosts per subnet. Subnet masks with more 1s in the mask field allow for more subnets but fewer maximum hosts per subnet, while masks with fewer 1s allow fewer subnets but support more hosts.
