How the Internet Works

HOW THE INTERNET WORKS SO HOW EXACTLY DOES THE INTERNET WORK? What's going on in that www cloudy, tangled web? A lot of little ninja are working DISSECTING A URL at super speeds to bring you the data you seek! SI THE AIRPORT 2 CUSTOMS 3 STEP STEP STEP STEP ..... ........... URL = UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR, THE ADDRESS OF A SPECIFIC WEBSITE OR FILE ON THE INTERNET, LIKE A HOME ADDRESS DEPARTURE BUCKLE UP 4 ....... ........ •... .... .... ....... ......... ..... Your query is submitted to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Within your ISP are multiple servers to store and transfer data, a NAP Server (Network Access Protection), and a DNS (Domain Name Server). The DNS translates the text domain name (pcninja.us) into the numerical IP address. DNS uncovers the identity of the alias! You type 'pcninja.us' into the web browser of your computer. Hop in the ninja mobile, and prepare for an adventure! Your computer is connected to the Internet through a modem and/or router, a jumping-off point to other networks in the world. Firewalls, in your browser and/or modem, monitor incoming and outgoing data, allowing or disallowing unscrupulous data on the network. Airport security ensures safe travel. Your browser maps itself to the desired IP address and establishes the hypertext transfer protocol (http), or language ISP used to communicate on the World Wide Web. Good idea to take a pocket translator! pcninja.us DNS Zz NAP top-level domain, such as .com, .org, .net; no two domain names can be the same within a top-level ::: GOOGLE PC the host name FACEBOOK 74.125.224.72 TWITTER (world wide web) MODEM PC NINJA 610-816-5387 HTTP TO I DNS I ENGLISH Computer Services & Repair www.pcninja.us FIREWALL •......... http:// www.pcninja .us/ ews-articles/ STEP STEP STEP TAKE OF 5 LANDING 6 7 INCOMING! ..... With the destination identified and language acquired, the ninja finds the speediest way possible to reach the server with that IP address.

A connection is established with that website and your computer. Please make sure your seats are in the upright position, we're ready to land! The ninja makes an even quicker return journey, bringing to your computer screen the graphical website of pcninja.us, which is full of data, pictures, and contact information. Thank you for flying with PC Ninja, and enjoy your browse! the other ISPS and servers to which all the other home and business networks connect, to form that network of networks, the Internet. Not a direct flight, but no long layovers with these multiple carriers! hypertext transfer protocol, rules for communication, a common language for servers and devices a subpage, the path to a particular file or webpage domain name hosted THE CLOUD on a particular network IC NINJA The URL really says, "Use the Web (http://) to find a host server named 'www' in the 'pcninja.us' network, and look in the 'news-articles' folder so I can pull out a particular file.
