Abstract:

Computer networks are a system of interconnected computers for the purpose of sharing digital information. The concept of a network began in 1962 when a server at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was connected to a server in Santa Monica, California. Since that time the proliferation of computers and computer networks has increased significantly. One of the most significant challenges to networks is attacks on their resources caused by inadequate network security. In this research paper we highlight and overview concept of computer networks. Computer networks have become increasingly ubiquitous. In today’s world, a computer network is much more than a collection of interconnected devices. Computer networks are a system of interconnected computers for the purpose of sharing digital information. The computer network enables to analyze, organize and disseminate the information that is essential to profitability. The rise of intranets and internets is the important aspect of computer networking. Intranets and internets are private business networks that are based on internet technology. The businesses are currently implementing intranets at a breakneck pace and for one reason only, an intranet enables a business to collect, manage and disseminate information more quickly and easily than ever before. Many businesses are implementing intranets simply to remain competitive; business that delay is likely to see their competition outdistance them. In this article we are presenting the basic concepts of networking.
