it is 4x8 bits the bits represented as one indicating the part of IP address that is representing your network. and the number represented as 0 indicating your computer in this network. so each packet first put into subnet mask this subnet mask decided whether it is belonging to this network or not. then it would sent to gateway for further routing.
