The basic concept of networking is connectivity. It's all about establishing a connection between two or more devices to enable them to exchange information and resources.
The networking principle revolves around the idea of standardization. Devices from different manufacturers need to follow common protocols (like a language) to understand each other and communicate effectively on the network. This ensures smooth data flow among interconnected nodes and avoids compatibility issues.
