+# 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](Network_hosts.md).

+A network **host** or **node** is a single computing device attached to a
+![network](Network_fundamentals.md).
+
+Hosts can act as servers or clients, or both.
+
+## Server
+
+A network server is a host that listens for inbound network connections and
+provides services to other hosts. Examples include web and email servers.
+
+## Client
+
+A network client is a host that makes outbound connections and requests servcies
+from network servers.
