Networking Concepts

A computer network is composed of multiple computers connected together using a telecommunication system for the purpose of sharing data, resources and communication. For instance, a home computer network may consist of two or more computers that share files and a printer using the network. The size and scalability of any computer network are determined by the hardware used as well as which protocols are being implemented.

1. TCP/IP : TCP/IP protocol suite, which is named after two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were also the first two networking protocols defined. Today's TCP/IP networking represents a synthesis of two developments that began in the 1970's, namely LAN's (Local Area Networks) and the Internet, both of which have revolutionized computing. The link below is a guide to TCP/IP protocol.
