DECnet

DECnet is a protocol developed by Digital Equipment Corporation to enable computers and devices within an organization to communicate and share resources efficiently. Think of it as a digital network language that allows different machines—such as servers, printers, and workstations—to connect, exchange data, and work together seamlessly. It helps manage how information travels between devices, ensuring smooth and organized communication within the network. Essentially, DECnet acts as an invisible infrastructure that keeps various hardware systems interconnected and functioning as a unified network.
