The exact definition for the internet is : a
global computer network providing a variety
of information and communication facilities,
consisting of interconnected networks using
standardized communication protocols.
2. Domain names and IP addresses
Domain Registrars use a Domain Name to
translates a user friendly domain name,
such as “example.com”, into an IP
address. Domain names work because
they provide computer users with a short
name that is easy to remember and then
it turns into an IP address.
3. Data packets and packet switching
Packet switching breaks data files into
small packets to send them across the
internet. A data packet is a unit of date
made into a packet that travels through
the network and these packets are used
in IP that navigates the Web.
4. The function of routers
The main function of a router is to connect
networks together and keep certain kinds
of broadcast traffic under control and a
router is what gives us Wi-Fi.
