Definition of Network
A network is a collection of computers or other hardware devices that are connected together, either
physically or logically, using special hardware & software, to allow them to exchange information &
co-operate.

Definition of Computer Network:


A computer network is interconnection of two or more computers connected to each other so that
they can exchange information such as e-mail, messages or documents, or share resources such as disk
storage or printer .
