 | | The most notable example of internetworking in practice is the Internet, which is a network of networks running different low-level protocols, unified by an internetworking protocol, the Internet Protocol (IP). | | | The devices used in internetworking are routers (originally called gateways, although that term was dropped due to confusion with functionally different devices using the same name), and some types of high end switches. | | | Internetworking started as a way to connect disparate types of networking technology, but it became widespread through the developing need to connect two or more local area networks via some sort of wide area network. |
