  1. What Does this plugin do?

It allows to to create various social networks(like Ning etc) on a single WordPress Multisite/BHuddyPress Install

  1. what do you mean by separate social networks?

Since All the data(including profile details/groups/activities etc) are separate for each of the network, I am calling it separate network.

  1. Does it Create separate User base for the sub social networks

Yes! It does track and keeps a tab on all the users who are associated with a subnetwork. A user can be associated with any number of sub network and for each of the network the data(activity/profile/groups) will vary.

On the members directory only the members who are part of this network are listed.

  1. Does it scope/filters users on the main site.

No, It does not but the code is there. You will need to comment a couple of lines to make that happen.

  1. How a member is associated with a network?

There are several ways to do that.

  • If a member registers on a sub network, he/she is added as a member of the sub network.
  • If a member is added to a blog by any means(using a plugin or via wordpress admin) he is added to the network
  1. Is there any other alternative plugin available

Yes. There exists an excellent plugin by Ron. You can find it here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/

My take is a little bit different from Ron's and my goals are a little bit different too.
