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.
