Distributed networks
Distributed networking is a distributed computing network system, said to be distributed when the computer programming and the data to be worked on are spread out across more than one computer.[2]
“A Distributed System is a collection of independent computers that appear to its users as a single coherent system”[3]
An important distinction[edit]
Please remember, for the rest of your life, the image below, and the distinction between centralized, decentralized, and distributed networks. Although we are learning about control, this idea is used in many different areas of computer science.

Do you understand this?[edit]
From the IB: Students should be aware of developments in mobile technology that have facilitated the growth of distributed networks.
Standards[edit]
