Explain how computing devices work together in a network.

CSN-1.A.1 A computing device is a physical artifact that can run a program. Some examples include computers, tablets, servers, routers, and smart sensors.

CSN-1.A.2 A computing system is a group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose.

CSN-1.A.3 A computer network is a group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.

CSN-1.A.4 A computer network is a type of computing system.

CSN-1.A.5 A path between two computing devices on a computer network (a sender and a receiver) is a sequence of directly connected computing devices that begins at the sender and ends at the receiver.

CSN-1.A.6 Routing is the process of finding a path from sender to receiver.

CSN-1.A.7 The bandwidth of a computer network is the maximum amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time.

CSN-1.A.8 Bandwidth is usually measured in bits per second.
