The Internet
global network of computers—was made possible by the convergence of computing and communications technologies
primary goal of APRANET ?
HINT: AT THE SAME TIME
One of the primary goals for ARPANET was to allow multiple users to send and receive information simultaneously over the same communications paths (e.g., phone lines).
DESCRIBE PACKET SWITCHING
NetworkS operated with a technique in which digital data was sent in small bundles called packets.
WHAT DOES PACKET SWITCHING ADRESS ATTRIBUTES DO?
The address information allowS packets to be routed to their destinations
WHAT HAPPENS TO INFORMATION THAT ARRIVES OUT OF ORDER IN PACKET SWITCHING
The sequencing information helped in reassembling the packets—
—into their original order for presentation to the recipient.
which, because of complex routing mechanisms, could actually arrive out of order
BECAUSE PACKET SWITCHING INTERMIXES DATA AND SENDS THROUGH THE NETWORK -IF A PORTION OF THE NETWORK FAILS WHAT HAPPENS
If a portion of the network failed, the remaining working portions would still route packets from senders to receivers over alternative paths for reliability.
The network was designed to operate without centralized control.
WHY WAS IP DEVOLOPEDN AND USED?
HINT: A MAIL MEN IS A COMINCATION CONDUIT.: IF INTERNET IS A MAIL MEN AND THE MAIL IS A NETWORK THEN THE ADRESS IS THE IP
TO GET different networks to communicate.
for both intraorganization (i.e., within the organization) and interorganization (i.e., between organizations) communications.
Each computer on the Internet has a unique _________
Each computer on the Internet has a unique IP address.
The current IP standard, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), has been in use since 1984 and will soon run out of possible addresse
Describe IPv6
IPv6 features enhanced security and a new addressing scheme expanding the number of IP addresses available so that we will not run out of IP addresses in the forseeable futur
what was the internet initially used for
nitially, Internet use was limited to universities and research institutions; then the military began using it intensively
WHATS BAND-WITH
Bandwidth (i.e., the information-carrying capacity)
Explain HOW THE WEB INTERACRTS WITH COMPUTERS AND INFORMATION
The World Wide Web allows computer users to execute web-based applications and to locate and view multimedia-based documents on almost any subject over the Internet.
WHO AT CERN ((EU organization FOR nuclear research) CREATED HTML AND WHAT YEAR.?
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) began to develop a technology for sharing information via hyperlinked text documents. Berners-Lee called his invention the HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
WHAT IS HTTP EXPLAIN
he wrote the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)—a communications protocol used to send information over the web.
TIM BERNES also wrote communication protocols to form the backbone of his new information system, which he called the World Wide Web. In particular,
WHAT DOES A URL specify?
specifies the address (i.e., location) of the web page displayed in the browser window.
IN HTML CODE. WHAT DOES URL’S BEGIN WITH?
URLs usually begin with http://
HTTPS STAND FOR AND EXPLAIN IT?
HTTPS is the standard for transferring encrypted data on the web.
WHAT DOES THE SYNTAX OF HTTPS
https://
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
URLs of websites that handle private information, such as credit card numbers, often begin with
DESCRIBE TLS (TRANSPORT CONTROL LAYER)
****cryptographic
(TLS) cryptographic schemes IS USED for securing communications and identification information over the web.
It combines HTTP with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and the more recent Transport Layer Security
Explain Web 1.0
IN 1998 Marc Andreessen, developed Mosaic, AND Netscape, WITCH igniting the explosive Internet economy of the late 1990s.
whose team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)
WHAT IS HYER text mark UP language?
In its simplest form, a web page is nothing more than an HTML document that describes to a web browser the document’s content and structure
(with the extension .html or .htm)
DESCRIBE HYPERLINKS
which, when clicked, load a specified web document. Both images and text may be hyperlinked.
WHAT TYPES OF FILES AND OR ACTIONS DOES HYPERLINKS RETRIVE
Hyperlinks can reference other web pages, e-mail addresses, files and more.
IF a hyperlink’s URL is in the form mailto:emailAddress, clicking the link loads your default e-mail program and opens a message
If a hyperlink references a file that the browser is incapable of displaying HOW DOES IT handle THE REQUEST?
If a hyperlink references a file that the browser is incapable of displaying, the browser prepares to download the file,
and generally prompts the user for information about how the file should be stored.
NAME A COUPLE WEB SERVERS
Popular web servers include Apache’s HTTP Server and Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS).
Let’s examine the components of the URL HTTP://WWW.DITEL.COM/BOOKS/DOWNLOADS.HTML
http://
www.deitel.com/books
/downloads.html
The text http:// indicates that the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) should be used to obtain the resource.
hostname www.deitel.com —the name of the web-server computer on which the resource resides.
(/books/downloads.html) specifies the resource’s location (/books) and name (downloads.html) on the web server.
EXPLAIN A HOST COMPUTER
This computer is referred to as the host, because it houses and maintains resources.
The hostname www.deitel.com is translated into an _______________? FOR THE BROWSER TO LOACTE WHAT?
—a numerical value that uniquely identifies the server on the Internet.
IP ADRESS
WHAT IS DNS AND WHAT IS ITS FUMCTION?
An Internet Domain Name System (DNS)
