Study Notes
Network Backbone and Internet Services
- Network access points (NAPs) and metropolitan area exchanges (MAEs) act as hubs where backbone networks connect with regional and local networks.
- MAEs (metropolitan area exchanges) are hubs where the backbone intersects regional and local networks and where backbone networks connect with one another.
- Internet services include e-mail, chatting and instant messaging, newsgroups, Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), World Wide Web, VoIP, and Virtual private network (VPN).
Client Server Computing
- Client computers running web browsers and other software can access various services on servers over the Internet.
- Services may run on a single server or multiple specialized servers.
- Services include web sites (HTTP), e-mail (SMTP), file transfer (FTP), and newsgroups (NNTP).
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
- VoIP phone calls digitize and break up voice messages into data packets that travel along different routes before being reassembled at the final destination.
- A processor, called a gateway, arranges packets in the proper order and directs them to the telephone number of the receiver or the IP address of the receiving computer.
World Wide Web
- The Web is an interlinked connection of web sites, collections of web pages linked to a home page.
- Web pages are created using HTML and transmitted to user's web browsers by HTTP.
- Web page addresses (URLs) consist of the domain name of the web site and the file location of the individual web page.
