Network Architecture

Network architecture refers to the design and structure of how devices, such as computers and servers, connect and communicate within a network. It outlines how data flows, the protocols used, and the arrangement of hardware and software components to ensure efficient, secure, and reliable communication. Think of it as the blueprint that defines how all parts of the network work together, whether it's a local office network or the global internet. Clear architecture helps in maintaining performance, security, and scalability as the network grows or evolves.
