The Internet and How We Connect to It 4.1.1
The Internet is a network of networks that connects
users in every country in the world.
There are currently over one billion Internet users

The Internet and How We Connect to It 4.1.3
An ISP is a company that provides the connections
and support to access the Internet.
Point of Presence (POP) is the connection point
between the ISP's network to a local LAN

The Internet and How We Connect to It 4.1.3
Internet Backbone
Very high-speed data links that interconnect ISP POPs
and ISPs to each other.
These interconnections are part of the very large, high
capacity network

The Internet and How We Connect to It 4.1.4
ISP Services
Home Service - slower connection speed, reduced web
space storage, and fewer email accounts.
Business Class Service - more expensive, provides
faster connection speeds, additional web space, and
additional e-mail accounts

Asymmetric:
Most commonly used for the
home.
Download speeds are faster than
upload speeds.

ISP Levels of Service
Symmetric:
Commonly used for business
or individuals hosting servers
on the Internet.
It can carry large amounts of
data in both directions at
equal rates.

Sending Information Across the Internet 4.2.1
For hosts to communicate on the Internet, they
must be running Internet Protocol (IP) software
Network connection (wired or wireless)
IP Address
ISP connectivity
13 April 2015
RE Meyers, Ms.Ed., CCAI
Sending Information Across the Internet
The IP Packet
Has a header at the beginning containing the source and
destination IP addresses.
Also contains control information that describes the
packet to network devices, such as routers

Sending Information Across the Internet 4.2.3
HOP
Each router a packet travels through from source
to destination.
13 April 2015
RE Meyers, Ms.Ed., CCAI
Sending Information Across the Internet 4.2.3
Traceroute
Traces the route from source to destination.
Displays each hop along the way and the time it takes for
each one

Summary
The Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks,
accessed through ISPs.
Internet Protocol (IP) controls the structure and addressing
of data packets for transport through the Internet cloud.
ISP Network Operations Centers (NOCs) utilize high-end,
high-speed devices with redundancy.
Home networks feature multi-function devices which
perform switching and routing.
Networks use physical cabling media which must conform to
standards in construction and termination.
Cabling best practices are designed to reduce attenuation
and crosstalk.
