Could you elaborate on the concept of a network mask, perhaps with a specific example? As a person seeking to gain deeper understanding in the realm of networking and cryptography, I'm curious to know how a network mask functions in practice. For instance, if we consider a typical IPv4 address, how would a network mask be applied to distinguish between the network portion and the host portion of the address? An illustrative example with actual numbers would be greatly appreciated.

In a netmask, two bits are always designated automatically, typically for the network and broadcast addresses.

Consider the netmask 255.255.225.0 as an example. In this case, the "0" at the end signifies the beginning of the host bits.
