Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1

Understanding the benefits of computer networks and how they function is important in maximizing communication channels among end users. This course describes the concept of computer networking, introduces the components of a computer network, and explains how users benefit from using networks. The host-to-host communication models were created to help define how network processes function, including the various components of networks and the transmission of data. Understanding the structure and purpose of the most commonly used protocol stack TCP/IP is central to recognizing how one host communicates with another.
