A computer network, in the broad sense, is any system composed of one or more computers and terminals, communication transmission facilities, and specialized or general purpose hardware to facilitate the flow of data between terminals and/or processors. Its parts consist of communication devices, the host processors, the transmission lines and a set of rules, implemented in either hardware or software, to insure the orderly flow of traffic in the network.
