so we can distinguish every computer in network
subnet mask
I would say it resembles a network ID because no individual computer can have an IP address that ends with 0 because that's reserved for the...network ID.
To view your computer's network identification Open Computer Management In the console tree, right-click Computer Management (Local), and then click Properties.Click the Network Identification tab. This tab shows the computer name, the workgroup or domain to which it belongs, and a brief description of the computer.
Subnet ID
Network IDA network ID refers to a part of a TCP/IP address that is used to identify the subnet that a host may be on. The subnet that the computer is on is determined by the netmask and IP address of the computer. This subnet address is the same as the network ID and is the beginning part of the computers IP address.When the netmask is setup, it is a number where some of the most significant bits have a 1's value and the rest have values of 0. The most significant part of the netmask with bits set to 1's specifies the network address, and the lower part of the address will specify the host address.The part of the IP address that matches the part of the netmask where the bits are set to ones determines the network ID.

Subnet ID
A Network Interface Card (NIC) is needed to connect a computer to a network. It allows a computer to communicate with other devices on the network by sending and receiving data packets. Without a NIC, a computer cannot access network resources or connect to the internet.
