              The process of connecting computers and peripheral devices with each other, so that they can exchange
              data is called computer networking. Various hardware devices, protocols, and software are required
              for networking. In this chapter, you'll learn about networking and computer networking concepts.


              COMPUTER NETWORK


              A  computer network is a group  of
              interconnected computer systems and
              other computing  devices. There are
              different kinds of computer networks
              that work in different ways. Networks
              may be very small and simple, or they
              may be  complex  as a  global  network
              like the Internet. There may be wired
              or wireless connections  between                                Computer Network
              computers on the network.
              The computers on the network can communicate with each other as well as work independently. Each
              computer in a network is called a node. The computers in the network may be linked through a cable,
              hub, switch, NIC (Network Interface Card), modem, or router.
