Remote network

Networks are defined via address range they occupy; in case of IP networks, if an address belongs to the same network mask, that network is local for the address in question. Local network can consist of several network segments, but they all should be connected directly.

Remote network is the one with different network mask, and/or network that can only be connected through network with different network mask. The latter assumes that private networks using the same network mask will be remote to one another in case they do not connect directly.
