Computer networking links computers and devices via physical and logical communication paths to enable data transmission, resource sharing, and distributed applications. The concept covers topologies, protocol stacks (e.g. OSI/TCP‑IP), addressing, routing, switching, as well as security and performance considerations across contexts. It forms the basis for n…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Computer networks connect devices through protocols, addresses, and forwarding for application data transfer.
The field grew from the need to connect remote computers across differing networks and failures. RFC 1122 and Linux documentation show standard and implementation.
Trace data through layers: application, transport, network, and link each have distinct responsibilities.
It owns a bounded part of communication.
It describes guarantees only endpoints can provide.
The model helps diagnose API, service, and infrastructure failures and separates local delivery from global addressing.
