  2. Internet • 1960s: the need for a “computer utility” • Military, academic, commercial uses in its history • Network of networks, connected by routers • Maintained by ISPs worldwide • Major ISPs are usually national telecoms • Local ISPs may offer special service, as in a resort • You access Internet by connecting to a “host” machine owned by your ISP

  3. Addresses 2 ways to express URL (Internet address): • IP numbers • Of the form a.b.c.d where each number ranges 0-255 • Ask your ISP for a batch of consecutive IP numbers for your company. • Ex. All Furman IP addresses begin 156.143 • Difficult to remember • Domain names • Dotted notation, but words/letters instead of numbers • Top level domains regulated by national non-profit company, whose monopoly is enforced by law. • ICANN is the arbiter for IP #s and domains for the USA • Name server can convert between address types

  4. Applications • Examples: E-mail, gopher, Web, FTP • Usually connect with specific server that specializes in that application • Server needs to have software that obeys relevant protocol. • Ex. Mail server needs to adhere to mail protocols, etc. • Ex. Web server needs to respond to requests for Web pages • Ex. FTP server should allow users to perform upload/download and directory access • Alternatively, you can log in to a remote machine • Made possible with client programs Telnet or Putty • Putty implements a “secure shell”: encrypts communication

  5. W W W • 24 years younger than the Internet as a whole • World Wide Web = set of linked documents hosted on specific machines called Web servers connected to the Internet • Each document has a URL (based on domain names) • Web terminology: • Web server • Web page • Web site • Web browser • Anatomy of a URL
