      "The important characteristics of computer networking are its reliability, usability, and security. A reliable network is always available to use. That way, users can depend on the network being up. A usable network is not slow and does not impact users while they are on the network. A secure network is protected from network attacks that can impact the reliability, usability, or performance of the network."
