hardware and software that transmits information
(text, data, graphics, and voice) from one location to
another.

information by altering the amplitude and frequency of
the waves.

communicating with the transmission media and
interface hardware.
Layer 2: data link layer: validates the integrity of the
flow of data.
Layer 3. network layer: defines the protocols for data
routing to ensure that information arrives at the correct
destination
