Do you want to know how Internet works, then you are in right place. In this article, I will teach you basic concepts of Internet and how it works.
As we are living in the world of Internet and almost everywhere we are using the Internet. We can’t think to live our life, without using Internet. But, it is experienced that a big chunk of the people of our society are not familiar with the basic concept of Internet and world wide web, while we all are using it, every day in our life.
Before going to learn how Internet works, first we need to understand the basic concepts of Internet so that we get better understanding while talking about how it works.
Ok, let’s get started.
What is Internet ?
Internet is a World Wide interconnected system of millions of computers and computer networks across the globe, which can exchange and accessed information electronically.
Internet is a set of computers communicating over fiber optics, phone lines, satellite links and other media.
It is a collection of hundreds of libraries and vast store of information relating to our hobbies, travel, health, entertainment, games, financial data, software and much more.
As the Internet is built on a collection of networks covering the world and these networks contain many different types of computers. To hold the whole thing together we used Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Protocols are the rules that all networks use to understand each other.
What is TCP/ IP ?
TCP/ IP is a large family of protocols used to organize computers and communication devices into a network. IP transmits the data from place to place, and TCP makes sure it all works correctly.
Information within the Internet is not transmitted as a constant stream from host to host, rather data is broken into small packages called segments. TCP divide the data or information into number of segments.
How Internet Works ?
The primary objective of any network is to exchange the information between different locations. The rules for this exchange are called Protocols. TCP/ IP is the protocol on Internet, which is actually a name for a set of many rules framed to connect computers in a wide area network, which is established between computers across the cities, countries and worldwide.
