                          NETWORKING

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

                     related to computer networking.

                          COMPUTER NETWORK

                     A computer network is a group of interconnected computer systems and other computing devices

                     that are linked together to share resources and information. 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 connection between computers
                     on the network.

                                                                 Computer 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.

                                                                                                 #Computer Networking  11
