Networking is the interconnection of workstations, peripherals terminals and other devices. One of the most common types of networks is the Local Area Network or LAN.
In networking, it is possible for different types of computers to communicate. It is not important what type of computer is used on a network. It may be a Macintosh computer or a PC or a mainframe. In networking, what is important is that all the devices speak the same language, or protocol.
Networking - Connecting of any collection of computers, printers, routers, switches, and other devices for the purpose of communication over some transmission medium.
Peripheral - Device connected to a computer to provide auxiliary functions such as printing, added disk space, scanning or CD-Rom.
Protocol - Formal description of a set of rules and conventions that govern how devices on a network exchange information.
