An IP address contains the network number and the node number of a device.  The netmask (NETwork MASK) is logically anded with the IP address to get the network number.  I believe that the netmask is then not'ed (flip the bits) and anded with the address to get the node number.

Example:

192.168.1.50/24
192.168.1.50 & 255.255.255.0 gives a network number of 192.168.1.0
192.168.1.50 & 0.0.0.255 gives a node number of 50

So my laptop is node 50 on the 192.168.1.0 net.
