Network transparency
open-in-new
<p>Network transparency refers to the ability of a protocol to transmit data over the <a href="/facts/Computer_network/3w5RM99p">network</a> in a manner which is not observable to those using the applications that are using the protocol. In this way, users of a particular application may access remote resources in the same manner in which they would access their own local resources. An example of this is <a href="/facts/Cloud_storage/cNw9IK3Q">cloud storage</a>, where remote files are presented as being locally accessible, and <a href="/facts/Cloud_computing/guhg0FGV">cloud computing</a> where the resource in question is processing. </p>
