Question

what is network
explain briefly

Answer 1

A computer network, or data network, is a digital telecommunications network which allows nodes to share resources. In computer networks, computing devices exchange datawith each other using connections between nodes (data links.) These data links are established over cable media such as wires or optic cables, or wireless media such as WiFi.

Network computer devices that originate, route and terminate the data are called network nodes.[1] Nodes can include hostssuch as personal computers, phones, serversas well as networking hardware. Two such devices can be said to be networked together when one device is able to exchange information with the other device, whether or not they have a direct connection to each other. In most cases, application-specific communications protocols are layered (i.e. carried as payload) over other more general communications protocols. This formidable collection of information technology requires skilled network management to keep it all running reliably.
