FOUNDATION TOPICS
Networks of devices have been built for more than 50
years now. The term device is used here to mean any
piece of electronic equipment that has a network
interface card of some sort. End-user devices or
consumer devices such as personal computers, laptops,
smartphones, tablets, and printers as well as
infrastructure devices such as switches, routers,
firewalls, and load balancers have been interconnected in
both private and public networks for many years. What
started as islands of disparate devices connected on
university campuses in the 1960s and then connected
directly with each other on ARPANET has evolved to
become the Internet, where everyone and everything is
interconnected. This chapter discusses the fundamentals
of networking.
