Study Notes
Client Access to Web Pages
- Clients utilize web browsers to access and display web pages on the internet.
- Browsers interpret HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to render content in a user-friendly format.
LANs and WANs
- Local Area Networks (LANs) connect computers within a limited geographical area, such as a home or office.
- Wide Area Networks (WANs) span large distances, linking multiple LANs over metropolitan, regional, or global areas through various technologies.
File Servers
- File servers store and manage data files, allowing users to share documents, applications, and media across a network.
- They provide centralized access to files, enhancing collaboration and data management.
Software on Email Servers
- Email servers operate with server-side software that manages sending, receiving, and storing email messages.
- Common email protocols used include SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending and POP3/IMAP for receiving emails.
Transmission Mediums for WANs
- WANs employ diverse transmission mediums, including fiber optic cables, leased lines, satellite communications, and wireless connections.
- These mediums facilitate high-speed data transfer across vast distances.
Internet Structure Maintenance
- The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is one of the key groups responsible for developing and maintaining the operational structure of the internet.
- Other organizations, such as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), handle domain name system management and internet governance.
