A computer network is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the Internet. Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server.

 A computer network is a system in which multiple computers are connected to each other to share information and resources.

Characteristics of a Computer Network:-

·        Share resources from one computer to another.

·        Create files and store them in one computer, access those files from the other computer(s) connected over the network.

·        Connect a printer, scanner, or a fax machine to one computer within the network and let other computers of the network use the machines available over the network.

A computer network is a set of connected computers. Computers on a network are called nodes. The connection between computers can be done via cabling, most commonly the Ethernet cable, or wireless through radio waves. Connected computers can share resources, like access to the Internet, printers, file servers, and others. A network is a multipurpose connection, which allows a single computer to do more.

Following is the list of hardware's required to set up a computer network.

• Network Cables
• Distributors
• Routers
• Internal Network Cards
• External Network Cards
