Subnets

A subnet is responsible for hosting a distinct subset of the software canisters hosted by the Internet Computer blockchain. A subnet is created by bringing together node machines drawn from different data centers in a manner controlled by the Network Nervous System (NNS). These node machines collaborate via the the Internet Computer Protocol in order to symmetrically replicate the data and computations pertaining to the software canisters that they host.
