I. INTRODUCTION A computer network is a group of computers that use a set of common communication protocols over digital interconnections to share resources located on or provided by the network nodes. the interconnections between nodes are formed from a broad spectrum of telecommunication network technologies, based on physically wired, optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods that may be arranged in a variety of network topologies. ]1[ Computer networking today has become one of the ways to share information where the systems are wirelessly linked together using a common network. I am sure you must be aware of what computer networks One of the major advantages is that it enhances communication and also provides better information by making use of instant messaging which allows users to send files in a real-time environment which is beneficial for business, Another major advantage of using computer networks lies in convenient resource sharing where major companies do not want to waste their resources and make sure that they are properly utilized among a shared group of people whereas it lacks independence i.e. the users would become idle if the system or the main file server breaks down, one of the other advantages of computer networks lies in its cost of joining the systems together as a single entity which is going down whereas in case of no computer networks the cost of combining systems as a single entity goes up as there are individual systems that need to be monitored and installed, and the storage capacity. ]2[ The nodes of a computer network may be classified by many means as personal computers, servers, networking hardware, or general-purpose hosts. They are identified by hostnames and network addresses. Hostnames serve as memorable labels for the nodes, rarely changed after initial
