           Hardware and software data communication systems.
       
          The OSI seven layer model attempts to provide a way of
          partitioning any computer network into independent modules
          from the lowest (physical) layer to the highest (application)
          layer.  Many different specifications exist at each of these
          layers.
       
          Networks are often also classified according to their
          geographical extent: local area network (LAN), metropolitan
          area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN) and also
          according to the protocols used.
