Terminology used in networking
The specific vocabulary and ideas used in the field of computer
networking are referred to as network terminology. It contains
concepts and terminology that explain how systems, devices,
and protocols interact with one another over a network.
Definition of networks
A network is a system of linked devices, nodes, or other entities
that exchange information, resources, and data. A computer
network, which is made up of two or more computing devices
(such computers, servers, or smartphones) connected by
communication channels to share resources and enable data
interchange, is commonly referred to as a network in the area
of computer science and technology.
Example:
Figure 1-1: A computer network.
, Definition of a server
A server is a computer system, gadget, or software program
that uses a network to supply other devices, referred to as
clients, with resources, data, or services. Client requests are
handled and managed by servers, which then provide the
necessary data or service.
Example:
Figure 1-2: Network servers.
Client’s computer
In computing, a client is a system, application, or device that
makes requests for and makes use of resources or services that
a server in a network provides. Clients are usually end-user
devices that communicate with servers to carry out operations
or retrieve data, such as desktop computers, laptops,
smartphones, or software apps.
