The Face Of Internet Details and Dark side Part-1

 What Is the Internet?

According to Webopedia, the web may be a worldwide system of connected networks. Each network consists of many computers, servers, routers, and printers. You can consider the web just like the telephone network or the interstate transportation system. You may have even heard people refer to the Internet as the Information SuperHighway. The networks that structure the web could also be owned and maintained by different companies but messages and data move across all of them without reference to ownership because they all use an equivalent protocol or language to speak.

Who Created the Internet?

A single person didn't create the web that we all know and use today. Below may be a listing of various people that have helped contribute to and develop the web.
The initial idea of the web is credited to Leonard Kleinrock after he published his first paper entitled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31, 1961.
In 1962, J.C.R. Licklider became the primary Director of IPTO and gave his vision of a galactic network. Also, with ideas from Licklider and Kleinrock, Robert Taylor helped create the thought of the network that later became ARPANET.

How does the Internet Work?

The Internet works through a packet routing network in accordance with the Internet Protocol (IP), the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), and other protocols.

What’s an IP address?

IP (Internet Protocol) Address is an address of your network hardware. It helps in connecting your computer to other devices on your network and all over the world. An IP Address is made up of numbers or characters.

 An example of an IP address would be: 506.457.14.512 

All devices that are connected to an internet connection have a unique IP address which means there’s a need for billions of IP addresses. This requirement is fulfilled by the new IP version IPv6. There are two IP versions: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 is the older version which has a space of over 4 billion IP addresses. However, the new IPv6 version can provide up to trillions of IP addresses to fulfill the needs of all internet users and devices. The IPv4 version used to configure IP addresses in numerical value (numbers) which may conflict with other IP addresses. That’s why IPv6 adopted the hexadecimal method to provide unique IP addresses to billions of users in the world. 

Example of an IPv6 IP address would be: 4ggr:1925:5656:7:600:t4tt:tc54:98vt

What’s a protocol?

A protocol may be a set of rules specifying how computers should communicate with one another over a network. For example, the Transport Control Protocol features a rule that if one computer sends data to a different computer, the destination computer should let the source computer know if any data was missing so the source computer can resend it. Or the Internet Protocol which specifies how computers should route information to other computers by attaching addresses onto the data it sends.

What is a TCP?

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation through which application programs can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packets of data to each other. Together, TCP and IP are the basic rules defining the Internet. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defines TCP in the Request for Comment (RFC) standards document number 793.
