Network Introduction

A computer network is formed by connecting multiple computers and devices to enable communication and resource sharing. Nodes in the network, such as routers and servers, follow specific protocols for data transfer. Computer networks facilitate resource sharing, communication, and data exchange among users.

What is Computer Networking?

A network set up by connecting two or more computers and other supporting


hardware devices through communication channels is called a computer network.
It enables computers to communicate with each other and to share commands,
data, etc., including the hardware and software resources.
Each computing device in a network is called a node or station. The nodes can be
routers, personal computers, and servers. Data transformation is done via the
network using rules known as protocols. The protocols are the set of rules which
every node of the network should follow for transferring information over the
wired or wireless network.

Working of a Computer Network


The nodes (like computers, switches, and modems) are the sources of generating
and transmitting data. Then the link (a transmission media) is used to bond among
the nodes.
By following the protocols, the nodes will transfer and receive data via
connections. Computer network architecture defines the design associated among
these physical and logical components. It provides the definitions for the network's
physical components, functional organization, protocols, and procedures.
Uses of Computer Network:
o It allows you to share resources such as printers, scanners, etc.
o You can share expensive software and database among network users.
o It facilitates communications from one computer to another computer.
o It allows the exchange of data and information among users through a
network
