Networking software

Networking software

Network Software is a set of primitives that define the protocol between two machines. The network software resolves an ambiguity among different types of network making it possible for all the machines in the network to connect and communicate with one another and share information.

network software is the information, data or programming used to make it possible for computers to communicate or connect to one another.

Network software is used to efficiently share information among computers. It encloses the information to be sent in a “package” that contains a “header” and a “trailer”. The header and trailer contain information for the receiving computer, such as the address of that computer and how the information package is coded. Information is transferred between computers as either electrical signals in electric wires, as light signals in fiber-optic cables, or as electromagnetic waves through space.
