Sorry if this is dumb, but I am very knew to learning about networks.
Here is my reasoning?
Let's take the address, 24.50.12.4
if we subnet it with /16 then the network address is 24.50 + host is 0.0.12.4 if we subnet it with /24 then the network address is 24.50.12
It feels like this means we have increased the number of available networks?
What is wrong with my reasoning?
