An inverse subnet mask is a binary bitmask that is used to match a given IP address to a subnet. Inverse subnet masks are often used in routing tables to determine which subnet a given IP address belongs to. It is the opposite of a regular subnet mask in that it uses a 0 to indicate the network portion of an address, while a 1 is used to indicate the host portion of the address.
