Background
Whether you're working local computers or on the internet,
you'll be networked these days. Networking comprises a whole
series of layers of protocols - from the physical to the
packet transfer and up to the application specific. And the
idea of 'the whole' is that you can send information from your
computer to another that may be half a world away, know it will
get there, and get the answer back. Truly remarkable how it
works, when you consider it's like a postal system with lots
of routers along the way that gets you an answer in milliseconds.
