INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE

What is internet protocol?

The internet protocol(IP) is the method or protocol by which data is send from one computer to another on the internet. Each computer on the internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computer on the internet.

Did you know how internet infrastructure work?

One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.
Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The internet society, a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.
