What is the Internet? • Computer network/network - Two or more computers that are connected so that they can communicate with each other. • Examples: Printers or hard disk drives • Most important: files, information, email, or instant messaging
What is the Internet? • The Internet is a collection of computer networks that communicate with each other using a common set of rules and protocol. In order for the “network” to become part of the Internet, it must use the protocol (rules) that the Internet uses. Think of the internet as a “global network” that uses all the same “rules”. • See Figure 1-1
What is the Internet? • The Internet began as a project of the US government in the 1960’s to connect the computers of government agencies and universities. • TRIVIA question - What famous person stated that he created the internet during the 2004 presidential election?
How the Internet Works • The Internet is a network known as a “packet-switched network”. • this means that data is sent through the network in packets • when 2 computers communicate over the Internet, data does not flow directly between the computers • data is broken up into “packets” and the packets travel from device to device through the network until they reach their destination
How the Internet Works • packets are reassembled on the receiving end • as packets travel, they pass from on network to another • devices called routers examine packets and decide the path they should travel • if a packet is going across the country or world, it will probably travel from one “packet” to another until it reaches large transmission lines called backbones • the packet will then jump off the backbone when it reaches a network that can link it to final destinations.
TCP / IP and Routing • a protocol called TCP / IP makes it possible for packets to travel the internet • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) defines how data is broken down into packets at the sending end and reassembled at the receiving end • IP (Internet Protocol) defines how data is routed over the Internet • A typical packet created by TCP, called an IP Packet, is less than 1500 characters is length
TCP / IP and Routing • TCP’s job is to create a collection of information about the IP Packet called a “header” • the packet “header” contains information about the destination address and the checksum
Checksum • the checksum is just a number that allows the receiving end of the packet to determine if errors occurred in the transmission of data
TCP / IP and Routing • When TCP has an IP Packet ready to travel, the packet goes out on a network. • the packet starts out on a network called a LAN (Local Area Network) • when a file or message is sent over the Internet, the packets that make up the file or message may take different routes • it is even possible that the packets could arrive at their destination in the wrong order • it’s up to TCP to put it all back together
Tracert • Pronounced “trace route” • the tracert command is used to trace the route of packets between points on the internet
Mac Tracert • Finder > Applications > Utilities > Network Utility > Traceroute • enter a web address (www.yahoo.com etc) • check number of hops • take a picture of screen (command+shift+4) & print • make sure your name is on your tracert before you turn it in
