Processors and peripherals interface to one another across the network logically, via protocols. The complex details of the physical-device interfaces remain hidden. This greatly enhances interoperability. Network access lets data flow across the network directly between processors, displays, cameras, disks, and so on. Cooperative computing, cluster processing, and conferencing applications are more naturally supported by this heterogeneous multicomputer architecture.
