         Computer Networks
   • A  computer  network  is  an  interconnected 
    collection of autonomous computers.
   –The goals of a computer network include:
     •  Sharing:  programs  (O.S.,  applications),  data, 
     equipment (printers, disks).
     •  High reliability:  users  are  more  immune from 
     hardware/software failure.
     • Less cost: It is easy to increase the capacity by 
     adding new machines.
     • Communications medium: Users have access to 6
     email and the Internet
