Internetworking Servers

 

Internetworking is the practice of connecting two or more distinct computer networks so they can communicate as if they were a single large system.

Levels of Internetworking:

  • Intranet: A private internetwork managed by a single organization, closed to the public.
  • Extranet: An intranet with limited access for authorized outsiders (like partners or customers).
  • Internet: The open, global interconnection of networks.

 

Servers: 
 
A server is a high-powered computer or software system designed to “serve” requests from other computers, known as clients. This relationship is called the Client-Server Model.
