Chapter 7. Networking and Internetworking
A network is the interconnection of two or more computers,
facilitating the exchange of information between them. Networks aren't just for
large companies; you can network two computers in your home to share a single
Internet connection, share a printer, easily exchange files, or even play a
networked game. Networking—whether it's between two computers in the same room
or two computers on opposite ends of the Earth—can open a host of possibilities
not feasible on a standalone system.
