Abstract
There are many kinds of networks in the world. These range from the very old networks, such as serial links, through to wide area networks made from copper and fiber, to wireless networks of various kinds, both for computers and for telecommunications devices such as phones. These networks obviously differ at the physical link layer, but in many cases they also differ at higher layers of the OSI stack.
