• Subnet Mask
Indicates the mask to be a logical-ANDed with the destination address before being com-
pared to the value in the Destination field. For systems that do not support arbitrary subnet
masks, an agent constructs the value of the Subnet Mask by determining whether the value
of the correspondent Destination field belongs to a Class A, B, or C network.
