networkcommunication
Network communication is the process by which devices exchange data over a shared medium or network. It encompasses the set of protocols, standards, and technologies that enable the transmission, routing, and interpretation of information between endpoints such as computers, servers, and sensors. Communication can occur within a local area network or across wide geographical distances via the Internet.
Architecture typically organizes communication into layers that separate concerns such as physical transmission, data framing, addressing,
Key components include hosts, switches, routers, bridges, and gateways, plus links such as copper, fiber, and
Transmission can be connection-oriented or connectionless, and networks commonly use packet switching with routing to determine
Network performance is evaluated using metrics such as bandwidth, latency, throughput, and jitter, with quality of
