ON THE INTERNET<br />

The Internet c<strong>an</strong> be seen as a network of several internetworks (or<br />

networks of networks) operating over a mech<strong>an</strong>ism used <strong>to</strong> connect<br />

them <strong>to</strong>gether. This mech<strong>an</strong>ism relies on the Internet pro<strong>to</strong>col, often<br />

referred as the IP pro<strong>to</strong>col.<br />

To underst<strong>an</strong>d how this Internet platform operates, first consider how a<br />

local area network or LAN works. A LAN is basically a group of electronic<br />

devices (or hosts) in relative physical proximity connected <strong>to</strong> each other<br />

over a shared medium. A host is essentially <strong>an</strong>ything on the network that<br />

is capable of receiving <strong>an</strong>d tr<strong>an</strong>smitting information packets on the<br />

network. Regardless of the technology used for networking, all hosts<br />

share a common physical medium. On <strong>to</strong>p of this medium, a commonly<br />

accepted pro<strong>to</strong>col allows all hosts in the LAN <strong>to</strong> send <strong>an</strong>d receive<br />

information <strong>to</strong> each other.<br />
