                                      HOW INTERNET WORKS


WHAT IS THE INTERNET?

  · The Internet is a protocol, a standard, an agreement that defines a simple, reliable and applicable method to multiple heterogeneous platform for transporting data between different computers.

 · This protocol, the "Internet Protocol" or IP, allows fluid communication between machines, regardless of excess, the physical form of the network over which this information is transmitted. However, for practical purposes, we call the Internet not the protocol, but the set of interconnected networks open to the public, which work with this protocol.

 · The Internet is an English neologism that means a decentralized global computer network. It is a system of interconnected networks through different protocols that offers a great diversity of services and resources, such as, for example, access to hypertext files through the web. 

 · Internet is an anglicism that is formed by the abbreviation of the term International Network of Computers, which in Spanish could be translated as ‘International Computer Network’, or also as ‘Network of networks’.

DEFINITIONS

IP: IP is the acronym for Internet Protocol or, in our language, Internet Protocol. It is a standard that is used for sending and receiving information through a network that gathers switched packets. This assignment mode is known as dynamic IP address.

MAC: When we establish a network, we have different identification parameters of a computer present within it, being not only the important IP Address, but also another factor that allows us to do this task, which is known as MAC Address, by the acronym in English corresponding to Media Access Control, although in the Spanish language it also has its term, and corresponds to the Media Access Control.

ROUTER: A router is a hardware device that allows the interconnection of networked computers.

DNS: DNS is a service that enables a link between domain names and IP addresses with which they are associated.

URL: The URL is the specific address assigned to each of the resources available on the network so that they can be located or identified.

PROTOCOL: We are talking about a protocol to refer to a system of norms that regulate communication between two or more systems that transmit information through various physical means.

SERVER: A server is a type of software that performs certain tasks on behalf of users. The term server is now also used to refer to the physical computer on which that software operates, a machine whose purpose is to provide data so that other machines can use that data.

BROWSER: A browser is an Internet browser: a software that allows viewing the contents of a web page.

SEARCH ENGINE: It is a program, located on an Internet site, that receives a search request, compares it with the entries in its database and returns the result.
