For example, a network is called a supernet when the prefix boundary contains fewer bits than the natural (or classful) mask of the network. A network is called a subnet when the prefix boundary contains more bits than the natural mask of the network:
- 209.60.128.0 is a class C network address with a mask of /24.
- 209.60.128.0 /22 is a supernet that yields:
- 209.60.128.0 /24
- 209.60.129.0 /24
- 209.60.130.0 /24
- 209.60.131.0 /24
- 192.0.0.0 /25
