Overview of Internet Technologies – Overview
This unit provides an overview of the Internet.
We begin with a historical perspective, and introduce the organizations that play a key role in the development and growth of the Internet.
Then we will look at the structure of the Internet, and the most common physical connections used to access it.
We will also review how bandwidth issues impact the performance of Internet connectivity.

Internet Technologies
The Internet is a global network of computer networks.
Although this basic definition may seem rather simple, its implications are enormous.
One of the main features of the Internet is its ability to allow dissimilar computer systems, and even networks of dissimilar systems, to communicate with each other by the means of the common Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol.

Internet Technologies
Personal computers (PCs) (IBM and Apple), mainframes, and minicomputers can all talk to each other over the Internet.
The true beauty of the Internet, however, is that the Internet allows users of these computer systems to communicate and interact with each other.
In the last few years, the Internet has started a revolution in the way we communicate, work, shop, and much more.
With all the interest being focused on the Internet, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to separate fact from fiction, vaporware from reality.

This lesson summarizes the most popular Physical Layer protocols and their associated speeds for providing connectivity to the Internet.
We begin this lesson looking at low speeds such as dial-up and leased lines, and we progress to higher-speed technologies such as T3 and OC-3.
We will look at applications that might use each of the options and the associated performance that each application may require.

There are two primary modes of connecting to the Internet.
The individual user gets access through a wide variety of service offerings.
These service offerings are typically for one or a few home users that access an ISP for basic use of the Internet, such as e-mail.
Organizations also must access the Internet, and many users often need access simultaneously.
This lesson reviews strategies for getting multiple users connected to the Internet.

Manufacturing has an extranet capability that is used throughout the day, averaging 20 transactions per user, by approximately 75 users to make inquiries and updates with seven subcontractors. Assume all e-mail is relatively short messages, occasionally with a document attached. The extranet transactions average less than 2,000 characters downstream and 100 upstream. Allow room for a 25 percent annual growth rate in the amount of traffic.

It is a loose collection of corporations, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
These are all tied to a central network, the backbone of the Internet.

Therefore, the continued functionality of the Internet is a concern of every Internet user.
Because there is no central owner, there cannot be a central regulator of the Internet.
To facilitate the high-level of voluntary standards compliance necessary for the Internet to work and help ensure continued growth, several organizations have been founded to take upon themselves, at the behest of the international community of Internet users, regulatory duties considered absolutely necessary.

In general, the best Internet access for consumers currently available is a high-speed (56 Kbps) modem on a second telephone line.
This is usually the best “bandwidth for the buck.”
However, actual connect speeds may be disappointing, with connections of only 28.8 Kbps depending on the line condition. (One problem is that the telephone company is not obligated to provide a “good, clean, line” for a modem.)

There are many decisions that factor into getting access to the Internet.
The type of connection, speed of the connection, and level of service provided are all critical to the decision making process.
Lesson 6 presented the basic steps in the setup of Internet access for a small organization.
Issues that should be considered in establishing Internet connectivity include security and compression.
