    A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes.Computers use common communication protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other.

  4. Network simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_simulation

    In computer network research, network simulation is a technique whereby a software program replicates the behavior of a real network. This is achieved by calculating the interactions between the different network entities such as routers, switches, nodes, access points, links, etc. [1] Most simulators use discrete event simulation in which the modeling of systems in which state variables ...
