Study Notes
- Internet is a massive network of networks, made of computers and other electronic devices; it uses TCP/IP communication protocols
- World Wide Web (WWW) refers to a collection of multimedia web pages stored on a website; it uses the internet to access information from servers and other computers
- HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML) is used to design web pages and to write protocols
- Uniform resource locator (URL) specifies the location of a web page, like www.hoddereducation.co.uk
- Web browser is software that connects to DNS to locate IP addresses; it interprets web pages sent to a user's computer so that documents and multimedia can be read or watched/listened to
- Internet service provider (ISP) is a company which allows a user to connect to the internet, for a monthly fee
- Public switched telephone network (PSTN) is a network used by traditional telephones when making calls or when sending faxes
- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) converts voice and webcam images into digital packages to be sent over the internet
- Internet protocol (IP) uses IPv4 or IPv6 to give addresses to devices connected to the internet
- IPv4 is an IP address format which uses 32 bits, such as 200.21.100.6
- Classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) increases IPv4 flexibility by adding a suffix to the IP address, such as 200.21.100.6/18
- IPv6 is a newer IP address format which uses 128 bits, such as A8F0:7FFF:F0F1:F000:3DD0:256A:22FF:AA00
- Zero compression reduces the length of an IPv6 address by replacing groups of zeroes by a double colon (::); it can only be applied once to an address to avoid ambiguity
- Sub-netting divides networks into two or more sub-networks
- Private IP address is an IP address reserved for internal network use behind a router
- Public IP address is an IP address allocated by the user's ISP to identify the location of their device on the internet
- Domain name service (DNS), also known as domain name system, gives domain names for internet hosts and is a system for finding IP addresses of a domain name
- JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language used mainly on the web to enhance HTML pages
- PHP is a hypertext processor, and an HTML-embedded scripting language used to write web pages
