Supernetting

Supernetting is a networking technique used to combine multiple smaller IP address blocks into a single larger block. This simplifies routing by reducing the number of entries in a router’s table, making it easier and more efficient to manage traffic on the internet. Essentially, it allows organizations to group addresses they own into one broader range, which can streamline communication and reduce complexity. Supernetting is often used when an organization has multiple contiguous IP addresses and wants to optimize data flow and network performance.
