                 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  are  going  learn  about  networking and  the
                 concepts related to computer networking.
