Intranet This is a private network, inside an organization or company that
uses the same software you will find on the public Internet. The
only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.
Internet The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are
logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The
Internet provides different ways to access private and public
information worldwide.
Internet address To participate in Internet communications and on Internet
Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet address
that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP
addresses
IP Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the
basic unit of information on the Internet (the packet) and also
details the numerical addressing format used to route the
information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address
of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your
network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs,
most people will
allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to
assign the IP addresses on internal networks.
IP address IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender
or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the
Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address. When you
“call” that number, using any connection methods, you get
connected to the computer that “owns” that IP address.
ISP ISP (Internet Service Provider)
is a company that maintains a
network that is linked to the Inte
rnet by way of a dedicated
communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated
communication lines to companies or individuals who can’t afford
the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
