Network

The computer network architecture is an ecosystem that integrates hardware and software to enable data communication with other machines. The system functionality is based on a hardware interface, such as the network card, which acts as the physical point of connection. The operating system uses a network protocol stack (like TCP/IP) to manage data traffic, packaging and un-packaging information for transmission and reception. The performance, latency, and reliability of the connection depend on the optimization of this system, where the hardware efficiency in processing data packets and the software robustness in managing network communication are crucial for a continuous and secure data flow.
