Study Notes
What is the Internet?
- The Internet connects hundreds of thousands of individual networks all over the world.
- It is a type of internetwork, which is a network of networks.
Key Components of the Internet
- Host computers (servers) provide information as requested by client systems.
- Machines that share information across computers are called servers.
- Packets of information are decomposed into smaller packets for transmission.
Internet Communication
- The flow of packets between machines on the Internet is governed by protocols such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol).
- Packets of information travel across multiple networks before being reassembled at their destination.
- The Internet uses IP (Internet Protocol) to carry data.
Web Technologies
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages and web applications.
- HTML uses tags to tell the Web browser how to display the text contained in the document.
- HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring data, including web pages.
- HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of HTTP.
- DNS (Domain Name System) software is used to translate domain names to IP addresses.
- URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is used to locate websites and individual pages.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Web Servers
- An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides access to the Internet.
- The primary function of an ISP is to connect users to the Internet.
- A Web server is a computer that stores and serves website files.
- When a browser requests a file, a Web server sends the requested file to the browser.
Network Structure
- The Internet is primarily composed of many interconnected networks.
- The main purpose of a backbone in the Internet is to interconnect these networks.
- Internetworking is the process of connecting separate networks, allowing them to communicate with each other.
