Why are there 6 subnets? – user171131 Apr 25 '13 at 10:15

assuming that these are all class C /24 networks there is: 223.1.1.X, 223.1.9.X, 223.1.7.X and so on – kafka Apr 25 '13 at 10:16

One might imply that there are multiple subnets from the diagram by the inclusion of routers which often indicate the boundry between two subnets, but they don't have to. They would almost certainly indicate multiple broadcast domains.
All the IP addresses could belong to the 223.1.0.0/16 network. Without knowing what subnet has been configured on each host you can't say for sure from the information given.

6 subnets.
Once thing to note, is that some of the ip address doesn't make any sense. If this image is purely displaying subnets, then, the reason why there is six is because of the routers on the network. So if you count the amount of links between the routers and pc's you get 6.

1+1, you should not have any IP addresses ending in .0, and each segment is a subnet, even if only 2 addresses (rtouer-2-router 255.255.255.252) – David Houde Apr 25 '13 at 11:24

Not always, you can have physical failover links, but the number of logical links can be seen as number of subnets, if that makes sense. – Danie Apr 25 '13 at 11:54
