Computer Networking for Beginners

A computer network is characterised by a set of hardware devices with appropriate switching software, nodes that are connected to each other by special communication channels (links) to provide a communication service that allows data to be exchanged and shared, and communication between several users or devices. Data is transferred in the form of a PDU (Packet Data Unit), consisting of a header (which contains the data for sending the message) and a body (which contains the body of the message), all governed by strict protocols.

In order to create a computer network, you need to know all the basic concepts that will allow you to have an efficient and above all secure network from possible external attacks.
