What is Networking?
A computer network is best described a a group of interconnected computers that can exist within a home, a building , an organisation or globally. The network exists for the purpose of sharing data and is built using a combination of hardware and software.
Networks are classified in several different ways. The most common method for defining the scope of a network is according to geographical area that it spans. For example, Local Area Networks (LANs) typically reach across a single home or office building whereas Wide Area Networks (WANs) can reach across cities, countries or worldwide.
The Internet is the world's largest public WAN. Networks can also be classified based on their topology or on the types of protocols they support. TCP/IP is the primary network protocol of the Internet whereas a related family of protocols built on top of TCP/IP allow Web browsers, email and many other applications to communicate across networks globally. Applications and computers using TCP/IP identify each other via their assigned IP addresses.
Most networks direct messages from source to destination devices using any of three techniques:routing, switching and bridging. Routers use certain network address information contained inside messages to send them ahead to their destination (sometimes indirectly via one or more additional routers). Switches use much of the same technology as routers but typically support local area networks only while Bridging allows messages to flow between two different types of physical networks.
