This illustration shows:
A five-subnet network (Net 1, Net 2, Net 3, Net 4, and Net 5)
configured as one four-segment VNET (VNET1) on Adapter 1
and four traditional networks on Adapter 2.
A network using PeerMaster adapters.
Cross-subnet traffic, such as traffic from Net 1 to Net 2, must be
forwarded by a router. The router can be internal to the server
or an external stand-alone device.
