Reliability (computer networking)

Reliability (computer networking) is about making sure that important information does not get lost or corrupted when it is being transferred over a computer network. It's like having a package delivery service that won't lose or damage the package during the delivery process. Reliability is especially important when it comes to transferring very important information, like money or health records, in a secure and safe way. To make sure that information is reliable when sent over a computer network, computer networking scientists use special algorithms and protocols. These protocols help make sure that the information is transferred with the highest accuracy, so that it doesn't get lost or corrupted along its journey.
