1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of a computer communications network is to allow moving information from one point to another
inside the network. The information could be stored on a device, such as a personal computer in the network, it
could be generated live outside the network, such as speech, or could be generated by a process on another piece of
information, such as automatic sales transactions at the end of a business day. The device does not necessarily have
to be a computer; it could be a hard disk, a camera or even a printer on the network. Due to a large variety of
information to be moved, and due to the fact that each type of information has its own conditions for intelligibility,
the computer network has evolved into a highly complex system. Specialized knowledge from many areas of science
and engineering goes into the design of networks. It is practically impossible for a single area of science or
engineering to be entirely responsible for the design of all the components. Therefore, a study of computer networks
