Networking
Networking refers to the practice of connecting multiple devices, systems, or nodes to share resources, exchange information, and communicate with each other. It forms the backbone of modern communication systems, allowing devices to work together and access data, services, or applications across local, regional, or even global networks.
Types of Networking
Computer Networking: This is the most common form of networking, involving the connection of computers and other devices (like printers, servers, and smartphones) to share data, files, and internet access. The networks can be:
- Local Area Network (LAN): A small network, typically within a single building or campus, that connects devices like computers and printers.
- Wide Area Network (WAN): A larger network that spans a broader area, often connecting multiple LANs over long distances, such as across cities or countries.
- Wireless Networks (Wi-Fi): These use radio waves to connect devices to a network without physical cables, commonly used in homes and businesses.
Telecommunication Networking: Involves communication systems like mobile phones, internet service providers (ISPs), and cable networks, which use different protocols and technologies (e.g., 4G, 5G) to transmit data over long distances.
Private and Public Networks:
- Private Networks: Restricted networks used by specific organizations or entities (e.g., corporate networks).
- Public Networks: Open networks, such as the internet, that anyone can access.
