What is a “subnet”?

Another overloaded term. It can mean, depending on the usage, a segment, a set of machines grouped together by a specific protocol feature (note that these machines do not have to be on the same segment, but they could be) or a big nylon thing used to capture enemy subs.

Subnet is like the PL tone on your radio. For example, you and your buddies are doing a tornado chase. Members of the group can put “tornadochase” in the ‘Unproto’ field of the settings dialog. Then by entering the same string “tornadochase” in the ‘Subnet’ field of the filter dialog, you would filter for beacons of those members and see only their positions on the map.
