Networking is the practice of transporting and exchanging data between nodes over a shared medium in an information system. Computer networking enables devices and endpoints to be connected to each other on a local area network (LAN) or to a larger network, such as the internet or a private wide area network (WAN). Networking components are used to make communication and interaction between multiple computers over network. Computer networks components comprise both physical parts as well as the software required for installing computer networks, both at organizations and at home. The hardware components are the server, client, peer, transmission medium, and connecting devices. Servers are high-configuration computers that manage the resources of the network. Clients are computers that request and receive service from the servers to access and use the network resources. Peers are computers that provide as well as receive services from other peers in a workgroup network. Transmission media may be guided media like coaxial cable or fibre optic cables.
