                      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.
