Document Summary
The internet is an interconnected network of thousands of networks and millions of computers (sometimes called host computers or just hosts) linking businesses, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals. The web is one of the internet"s most popular services, providing access to billions, perhaps trillions, of web pages. Internet as a network that uses the ip addressing scheme, supports the transmission control. Protocol (tcp), and makes services available to users much like a telephone system makes voice and data services available to the public. Three extremely important concepts that are the basis for understanding the internet: Packet switching is a method of slicing digital messages into discrete units called packets, sending the packets along different communication paths as they become available, and then reassembling the packets once they arrive at their destination. Transmission control protocol/internet protocol (tcp/ip) has become the core communications protocol for the internet.
