Study Notes
- ICANN is responsible for managing domain name and IP address assignment on the internet.
- Internet backbone constitutes the internet’s main infrastructure, composed of high-speed data transmission lines and major networks.
- Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of rules governing data format sent over the internet or other networks.
- Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides individuals and organizations access to the internet.
- Interoperability enables different systems, devices, or software to work together and exchange information seamlessly.
- IP address serves as a unique numerical identifier for each device connected to a network, facilitating communication between devices.
- Latency is the delay before data transfer begins after an instruction, often measured in milliseconds.
- Local-Area Network (LAN) connects computers and devices within a limited area like a home, school, or office building.
- Metropolitan-Area Network (MAN) spans a larger geographic area than a LAN, such as a city or large campus.
- MIME type is a standard that indicates the nature and format of a file, used to identify the type of content being sent over the internet.
