Network fundamentals

A network is a system that allows computing devices to communicate and exchange information with each other.

In order for devices to be able to communicate they must share a common communication protocol.

A protocol specifies rules determining how information is to be exchanged. (Simply connecting two devices is not sufficient for them to be able to communicate, they must have a shared language.)

The nodes of a network are called hosts.
