The Internet
  1. A network of computer networks and computers using a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol and TCP/IP to support public access to email and web pages ect
    1. (WWW) World Wide Web is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents accessed via the internet
      1. End to end princible
        1. Two computers control a communication across the intenet
          1. Each computer using the internet should be uniquely identified
          2. Packet switching
            1. Data packets flow across the internet between two end points that control their communication
              1. A message is broken into variable length packets consisting of part of the data, source and destination adress
                1. The packets travel independently through the internet backbone, routed on the basis of the destination adress
                2. Routers
                  1. Hosts are computers running applicfations
                    1. A router is a special switch that recieves packets from one host or router and uses the destination IP address
                    2. Gateways
                      1. Connects networks that use different protocols
                        1. Each network is connected to the internet through a router gateway the gateway overcomes the mismatch between different networks
                        2. Internet address
                          1. Each computer on the internet is labeled with a globally unique address known as an internet protocol address
                            1. The numbering system IPv4 used today allows for 232 different adresses
                              1. All these unique addresses make up a single logical address space. At a binary level, an IPv4 address consists of 32 bits
                              2. Domain names/ IP addresses
                                1. Hierarchical system using abbreviations and names. Examples of top level domain suffixes include arp,mil ,com, edu, gov and country names such as .uk
                                  1. Domain name system DNS. Watch DNS made easy
                                    1. DNS server translates fully qualified domain name into an IP address
                                      1. URI Uniform resource identifier is an identifier for a resource.
                                        1. A URL identifies via its network location
                                          1. A URN identifies a resource from its name
                                        2. A domain name identifies a network of computers whilst a fully qualified domain name uniquely identifies a particular host on this working
                                        3. Client server model
                                          1. Server is software process that provides a service requested by a client software process
                                            1. A client is a software process that requests and uses the services provided by a server
                                              1. A client software process initiates a request for some service from a server software process which responds to that request
                                              2. Protocols
