Summary:
Now the system (router or server) will look for a network number
of 137.207.192.000 instead of a network number of 137.207., then
the router (or the server) will locate the host (workstation) from its
table, and adds the corresponding machine number to get

different mask number could be used for less subnetworks and
more hosts.
