Question

Answer of what is primary goal of computer network

Answer 1

NETWORK GOALS:The main goal of networking is "Resource sharing", and it is to make all programs, data and equipment available to anyone on the network with out the regard to the physical location of the resource and the user. A second goal is to provide high reliablity by having alternative sources of supply. For example, all files could be replicatied on two or three machines, so if one of them is unavailable, the other copies could be available. Another goal is saving money. Small computers have a much better price/performance ratio than larger ones. Mainframes are roughly a factor of ten times faster than the fastest single chip microproce.
