Distributed networking describes a number of protocols, systems, and technologies.
The most popular amongst them is ``the internet,'' to the extent it can be described as a single entity.

Packet switching was the birth of the internet, and as such is a central theme of our project.
The way that packets (any information transferred across any protocol) maintain their correctness, or proving that the data is untampered, and the way that computers connect to eachother will be explored in this paper.
