Networking, or computer networking, transports and exchanges data between nodes over a shared medium in an information system. It’s about moving information from your application across and within your network. Generally speaking, the essence of network connectivity exists as a source and a destination where we can communicate. There are different modes of communication, such as unicast, broadcast, and multicast. But for now, consider a network and the infrastructure used within a network to support communication between a single source and destination.
