What is Internet?

what is internet?

INTER connected NETWORK

made up to an incredibly large number independently operated network and fully distributed

it was a result of another experiment called ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agencies Network)

to access information, send/post message, communicate with friends and family

how search work

search engine running program 'spider' that collect the information

the internet is a web of page connected to each other by hyperlink

search engine are constantly scanning the web in advance

search index is a database or information used for doing a research

search engine's ranking algorithm check from the title, sequence or keywords

cyber-security & crime

cybercrime causes huge problems for society personally,financially and even in matters of national security

encrypting & public keys

public keys

encrypting

data of any kind can be kept secret through a process

scrambling or changing of the message to hide the original text

method of encryption was Caesar's Cipher

can be exchanged with anybody

used to encrypt data & anybody can use

can be exchanged with anybody

used to encrypt data & anybody can use

wire,cable &wifi

passage by electricity, light & radio waves

bandwidth

measured by bit rate

latency

different measure of speed

send bits as light beams from one place to another using a fiber optic cable which is the alternative when it in the long distance

wireless bit sending machines typically use a radio signal to send bit from one place to another

IP addresses & DNS

DNS (Domain Name System)

IP addresses is computer's address

is when computer asking anotehr computer for information

is bunch of number and organized hierarchy and each represent bit

associate name like www.sophia.com with corresponding addresses

is used to connect computer to the destination on the internet

DNS server are connected in a distributed hierarchy & divided into zone, splitting major domain (eg: org,com, net)

packets, routing & reliability

routers/moderms

reliability

packet

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) manage the sending & receiving all your data as packets

information on the internet goes from one computer to another in a packet of information

each router keep track of multiple path for sending packets & choose the available path

traffic manager to keep packet moving through the network smoothly

key principle of internet

the more router/moderms the more reliable the internet
