Computer Networking Information

Computer Networking is a focus within engineering that deals with communication between computer systems or devices. Computer networking is often considered a sub-discipline of a few areas: telecommunications, computer science, information technology and/or computer engineering. Computer networks rely heavily on the theoretical and practical application of each of these engineering disciplines.

A computer network is any set of computers or devices connected to each other with the ability to exchange data. Examples of different networks are:

  • Local area network (LAN)
  • Wide area network (WAN)
  • Wireless LANs (WLAN)
  • Wireless WANs (WWAN)
