===== Definition ===== Network segregation, also known as network segmentation or network isolation, refers to the practice of dividing a computer network into smaller subnetworks or segments. Each segment is isolated from other segments, meaning that they cannot communicate directly with each other unless explicitly allowed. Inter-network segregation, on the other hand, refers to the process of segregating multiple networks from each other while still allowing limited communication between them. This could be done by implementing firewall rules or using virtual private networks (VPNs) to control and secure the communication between the networks. Inter-network segregation is often employed for security reasons. By separating different networks, organizations can limit the potential impact of a security breach. For example, if an attacker gains access to one network, they would still need to bypass additional security measures to gain access to other segregated networks. Another common reason for inter-network segregation is to improve network performance and efficiency. By dividing the network into smaller segments, organizations can reduce congestion and improve the overall speed and reliability of the network. In summary, inter-network segregation is the practice of separating multiple networks from each other while still allowing limited communication, often for security and performance reasons.
