Communication subnets and resource subnets

Resource subnet: From the function of each component of computer network, each part mainly accomplishes two functions, namely network communication and resource sharing. The set of equipment and software that realizes network communication function in computer network is called network communication subnet, and the set of equipment and software that realizes resource sharing function in network is called resource subnet.
Resource subnets include:
1. User computers (also known as workstations)
2. Networked Storage Systems
3. Network printer
4. Standalone running network data devices
5. Network Terminal
6. Server
7. Various software resources running on the network
8. Data resources, etc.

Mainly for the user to provide data transmission, transfer, processing, transformation, etc.
Communication subnets include:
Communication subnets mainly include repeaters, hub bridges, routers, gateways and other hardware devices.
