TCP / IP Services and Standards
This document discusses key concepts related to website design and construction including: - Internet protocols like IP, TCP, and HTTP that enable communication and transfer of information between servers and clients. - Standards like URLs that describe web addresses and locations of documents, and how different protocols like HTTP and FTP provide different types of services. - The client-server model where servers provide services and clients access them over the internet using browsers. - How web servers store and transmit HTML pages to browsers, and issues caused by varying browser implementations that standards aim to address.

Editor's Notes
- #3 So we have this concept of the Internet being made up of nodes, with machines of all types making up the network. Messages are passed around as packets using the Internet Protocol (with unique identifiers called IP addresses). Communication between two nodes is controlled using the Transmission Control Protocol. Packets find their destination because of the Internet Protocol. The MESSAGE gets from London to Beijing and is re-assembled in the correct order thanks to Transmission Control Protocol.
- #5 The overall control of the message and the way it gets from sender to recipient is thanks to TCP.
- #6 Server’s job is to sit around all day, listening for communication requests. Client’s job is to make requests. Some servers will satisfy requests indiscriminately, others require authentication. It depends upon the service being provided.
- #7 Once connected the two software applications use yet another protocol called the Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol, that describes the rules for exchanging html documents. This involves a series of GET and POST methods. The browser software has the job of rendering a web page according to the instructions contained in the HTML code The server simply has the job of dishing out html files whenever it received GET requests.
- #16 Various standards taken from four different pages, it should be noted that regardless of the standard they are referring to, they ARE declaring which standard the document complies to and therefore gives the browser a better opportunity to interpret the html correctly (as the developer intended).
- #17 Ask the student to find out what the current standard is and when it was introduced. What percentage of sites do they think conform to the standard? Do all browsers correctly interpret the standard? Do any
