as backplane connections, or may be found only in the
internal operation of a module (All ports are interfaces, but
not all interfaces are ports).

vast chain of private and public LANs.
Inter-
operability The capacity to function in conjunction with other devices.
Used primarily to indicate the ability of different vendors’
networking products to work together cohesively.
