Subnet mask is a 32-bit number that masks an IP address and divides them into network addresses and host addresses, it is generally a net of numbers used for routing traffic within a subnet. Subnet mask is created by setting network bits to all ones and setting host bits to all zeros, this process is called subnetting. It is used to separate a large network in smaller multiple networks which is required for reorganization and security purposes. Subnet masks separates network addresses from host addresses, then by preforming bit-wise logical AND operation we get a product with a network address.
A routing tables is a set of rules that is presented in a table format, it is used to resolve where packets of data is traveling through an IP network. A routing table is present on all IP nodes like routers and switches.
