Clients are devices which utilize a network’s functions for the purpose of completing a task. Clients within a network were at one point limited to desktop computers and possibly printers. Today, client devices can be desktop computers, laptops, tablet devices, handheld mobile devices, printers, and even televisions. These devices have to work concurrently on a single network without interference while maintaining the security of said network. This would seem like a tall order but it is handily managed by a combination of Network Servers and Routers. This type of seamless functionality is the result of many years of research and development as well as adherence to core standards and formats set by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering).
