THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET



Hellllooooooo readers :)

Today we gonna share with you about the history of internet. Do you know the origin of internet? How do its look like? What is the device use to represent the internet? Okay, because it is about the history, im gonna write the facts straightforward. 
But first, naaaaahhh...we show you the telegraph picture   :D 



The earlier history of the internet was represented by the telegraph, invented in 1840s. Signals sent over wires that were established over vast distances. It is use extensively by the U.S. Government during the American Civil War, 1861-1865. They use Morse Code coding type, consists of dots and dashes or short signals and long signals.

WHAT IS THE INTERNET?
  • A network of networks.    
  • Act as a single huge network for transport of data and messages across distances which can be anywhere.
  • Uses TCP/IP protocols and packet switching.
  • Runs on any communications substrate.






THE CREATION OF THE INTERNET SOLVED THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGES

  • Basically inventing digital networking
  • Survivability of an infrastructure to send / receive high-speed electronic messages
  • Reliability of computer messaging


THE UNIVERSAL RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL)

Each page of information on the web has a unique address called the URL.



PROTOCOLS THAT MAY APPEAR IN URL’S

Protocols Name
Use
ftp://
File transfer
http://
Hypertext
https://
Hypertext Secure
Mailto:
Sending email
News:
Requesting news
telnet://
Remote login


THE INTERNETWORKING PROBLEMS
Heterogeneity:
How to interconnect a large number of disparate networks?
How to support a wide variety of applications?
Scaling:
How to support a large number of end-nodes and applications in this interconnected network?


THE SOLUTIONS
1.      Internet-layer gateways and global addresses
2.      Simple, application-independent, lowest denominator network service
3.      Stateless gateways could easily route around failures
4.      With application-specific knowledge out of gateways:
·         NSPs no longer had monopoly on new services
·         Internet: a platform for rapid, competitive innovation

Network-layer Overlay Model
Define a new protocol (IP) and map all applications/networks to IP.
Require only one mapping when a new protocol/application is added.
Global address space can be created for universal addressability and scaling.

TCP/IP
Original TCP/IP (Cerf & Kahn)
Today’s TCP/IP
No separation between transport (TCP) and network (IP) layers.
Separate transport (TCP) and network (IP) layer.
One common header: use ports to multiples multiple TCP connections on the same host.
Split the common header in: TCP and UDP headers.
Byte-based sequence number.
Fragmentation reassembly done by IP.
Flow control, but not congestion control.
Congestion control


ADDRESSING
IP address = network ID + host ID
Splitting address into multiple parts is called hierarchical addressing.
Network
                      Host

                                                           Boundary


CONVERTING A 32-bit INTERNET ADDRESS TO DOTTED DECIMAL FORMAT
An Internet address, known as an IP address for “Internet Protocol” is comprised of four binary octets, making it a 32-bit address.
IP addresses, difficult for humans to read in binary format, are often converted to “dotted decimal format”
To convert the 32-bit binary address to dotted decimal format, divide the address into four 8-bit octets and then convert each octet to a decimal number.
Each octet will have one of 256 values (0 through 255)
Example of an IP address on dotted decimal form:     192.48.29.253


THE INTERNET NETWORK LAYER
Routing Protocols
IP protocol
ICMP Protocol
Path selection
Addressing conventions
Error reporting
RIP, OSPF, BGP
Datagram format
Router “signaling”
Packet handling conventions


THE DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM

The Domain Name System translates between domain names
and IP addresses of devices connected to the Internet
·         A domain name (a part of the URL) is a unique alphanumeric name such as gmu.edu
·         The top level domain name is edu and the secondary level domain name is gmu

Examples of top level domains:
Generic top level domains
Country codes (2 character codes)
.com
.biz
.info
.edu
.mil
.net
.jp
.sw
.us


DNS
Translation Between Domain Names and IP Addresses
IP Addresses
Domain Names
Every device connected has a unique 32-bit address
Every device connected has an alphanumeric address
Machine readable
Eg: 151.196.19.22
Human readable
Eg: cnn.com
