                     COMPUTER NETWORK

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





















                  The computers on the network can communicate with each other as well as work independently.
                  Each computer connected to the network is referred to as a node. These computers can be
                  interconnected using various devices such as cables, hubs, switches, Network Interface Cards
                  (NICs), modems, or routers.
