Networking: In very simple words when there are
two or more computers are connected among each other then it can be called a
network. The process of communication between these connected computers is
called networking.
To define networking
more specifically we can say that networking is a process of resource sharing
among two or more computing device.
The resources are of
two types.
1)
Hardware resources
2)
Software resources
Let there are 4
computers in a cybercafé and there is only
one printer there. This single printer can be shared through the network and
all 4 computers can use the single printer. This is an example of hardware
resource sharing.
Let a file is being
shared in the network of the cybercafé so that all user can get access to the file and perform there
required work in there. This is an example of software resource sharing.
Elements of
networking: There are four basic elements of a networking system, these are as
follows-
1)
Sender
2)
Receiver
3)
Media
4)
Protocol
Sender & Receiver: In a network system
the computer/device which shares resources or services is known as sender on
the other hand the computer/device receives the shared resources or services is
known as receiver.
Media: Through whom the computers or devices
are connected to each other in known as media. Basically media are of two types
1)
Wired media
2)
Wireless media
Protocol: Protocols can be defined as a set of rules by
which the computer and devices communicate with each other.
