Network Segmentation...
Network segmentation is the process of dividing one large network into several smaller networks (aka subnets). The benefit of network segmentation is that increase network security, increase bandwidth within each broadcast domain, reduce the impact of network outages, reduce the number of needed IP addresses, reduce the number of wasted IP addresses, and improve the overall design of the network.
