- The internet is a wire. (could be fibreoptic)
- 2 computers connected directly using this wire are connected
- Every computer has its ow unique addresses : IP addresses.
- We associate domain names with IP addresses. "we're only human."-Human Humanson.
- Files stored on a server on some computer somewhere.
- Domain Name Service (DNS) : allows you to find domain names and their IP addresses.
- Computer indirectly connected to the internet are known as clients.
- To look at the internet: Client goes through DSL to ISP
- Computers break sent pictures into smaller chunks, called 'packets'.
- Routers help direct packets to where they need to go.
- Every time a packet goes through a router it gets IP code added to the address so that it can be returned through the same servers.
- The packet size is generally 1kB each (1000 or 1024 bytes)
