Networking Fundamentals

Networking is the backbone of modern communication and computing. It allows devices to connect and communicate with each other, enabling the transfer of data and resources. This page provides an overview of the fundamental concepts of networking.

Key Concepts

Local Area Network (LAN): A network that connects devices within a limited area, such as a home, office, or school.
Wide Area Network (WAN): A network that spans a large geographical area, such as a city, country, or even the entire world.
Internet: A global network of networks that connects millions of devices worldwide.

Networking Technologies

TCP/IP: The protocol suite that defines the rules for data transmission over the internet.
Ethernet: A common technology used for local area networks.
Wi-Fi: A wireless technology that allows devices to connect to a network without the need for cables.

Common Networking Issues

Connection Drops: When the connection between devices is lost.
Slow Performance: When the network is slow and data transfer is slow.
Security Threats: When the network is vulnerable to attacks.
