Hi,

The subnet mask is used by the TCP/IP protocol to determine whether a host
is on the local subnet or on a remote network.

In TCP/IP, the parts of the IP address that are used as the network and
host addresses are not fixed, so the network and host addresses above
cannot be determined unless you have more information. This information is
supplied in another 32-bit number called a subnet mask.

Visit following web sites for detailed information
