Computer Networking refers to the interconnection of multiple computers, devices and other resources to exchange data and share resources. This field of study involves the design, implementation, and management of communication networks, such as local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and the internet. Networking technologies include protocols and standards that define how data is transmitted, such as TCP/IP, and hardware components such as routers, switches, and wireless access points. The goal of computer networking is to provide reliable and secure communication among multiple devices and users, and to enable the sharing of resources such as printers, files, and applications. It is a critical component of modern business, education, and personal technology systems.
