What is Network?

The connection of two or more computers with each other in a wired or wireless way and exchanging data is called a network.
Its history dates back to the 1960s and is widely used today. The largest known network is the Internet.

Wide Area Network (WAN) - Wide Area Connection

It represents a very large area geographically. Since it refers to the networks spread over the world, it is the largest network system in this respect.
