Web one of the Internet’s most popular services, providing
access to billions, and perhaps trillions, of web pages
THE INTERNET: KEY TECHNOLOGY CONCEPTS

 Packet switching a method of slicing digital messages into packets, sending the
packets along different communication paths as they become available, and then
reassembling the packets once they arrive at their destination
 Packets the discrete units into which digital messages are sliced for transmission
over the Internet
 Router special-purpose computer that interconnects the computer networks that
make up the Internet and routes packets to their ultimate destination as they
travel the Internet
THE INTERNET: KEY TECHNOLOGY CONCEPTS

 Protocol set of rules and standards for data transfer


 Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) core
communications protocol for the Internet
 TCP establishes connections among sending and receiving computers
and handles assembly and reassembly of packets
 IP provides the Internet’s addressing scheme and is responsible for
delivery of packets
THE INTERNET: KEY TECHNOLOGY CONCEPTS

 IPv6 Internet address Internet address expressed as a 128-bit


number
 Domain Name IP address expressed in natural language
 Domain Name System (DNS) system for expressing numeric IP
addresses in natural language
 Uniform Resource Locator (URL) the address used by a web browser to
identify the location of content on the Web
CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING
CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING

 Client/server computing a model of computing in which client


computers are connected in a network together with one or more
servers
 Client a powerful desktop computer that is part of a network
 Server networked computer dedicated to common functions that the
