Nobody owns the internet.

It

Journey of the Internet is made up of independently

operated networks.

In order for a web page to appear and a URL to

load onto a computer, the internet has to go
through millions of steps in a couple of seconds Bob Kahn & Vincent Cerf
designed the internet

1. Connection DNS is susceptible to cyber attaks

like DNS Spoofing because of its
The computer uses the ISP openness and publicity
(Internet Service Provider) to
use DNS sever to find the
Domain name.
DNS server: Domain Name Service
Server

DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol): Assigns devices with dynamic IP
addresses

2. Communication
Computers depend on each
other, so they use Protocols
for rules to communicate.

3. Address Bit Rate: # of bits sent

Computers ask for the IP over a time period
address which is  like a
home address. Latency: Time period
it takes to travel a
distance
The present-day IP addressing is IPv4,
the upcoming one will be called IPv6.

IP addresses are made of 174 . 129 . 14 . 120

binary in the form of 32
bits. 10101110 10000001 00001110
01111000
3. Packets
Information from the website is seperated
and sent as packets and managed by TCP
TCP(Transmission Control
Protocol):Manages sending and
recieving packets

4. "Get" Request
In order to get the web page to your
computer, the computer needs to send
a HTTP "get" request to ask for the
HTML of the web page.

HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Language used

between web browsers and servers.

HTML(Hypertext Markup Language): The language used

to make and change web pages.

Cookie data is saved by your computer in

order for your computer to save web pages
for later or to save login info.
4."Post" Request
Sometimes you can also send
information to a server as well. This
is a HTTP "post" request. In addition,
a little piece of cookie data is
attached.

5. Transportation
Packets are then sent through different
routes to get to the destination as effecient
as possible. Routers keep packets moving
smoothly through traffic. Switches help
packets get to their destination on the
LAN.

HTTPS(Hypertext Transfer Protocol

SSL(Security Sockets Secure): A way to keep your HTTP
Layer) and request protected. Websites with HTTPS
TLS(Transport Layer
Security) have a digital certificate showing they are
the website they are supposed to be.
A way to protect internet
communications from
tampering or snooping LAN (Local Are Network): Localized networking
WAN (Wide Area Network): Widespread connectivity
covering large areas.

Bandwidth: Maximum IETF (Internet Engineering Task

transmission rate of Force): A group of individuals that
network connection define functions of operating protocols

Modem: A device used to connect one's Bits are sent through the internet by...
