Communication Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media. They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the medium.
Connection In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate with each other.

DHCP | Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed |
| by Microsoft a protocol for assigning dynamic IP |
| addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic |
| addressing, a device can have a different IP address |
| every time it connects to the network. In some |
| systems, the device's IP address can even change |
| while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix |
| of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the |
| task for network administrators because the software |
| keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an |
| administrator to manage the task. This means a new |
| computer can be added to a network without the hassle |
| of manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP |
