Internet architecture is basically a huge network of thousands of networks communicating using a common protocol. The Internet sends a transmission to a host computer that sends it on to another computer that is connected to the host computers network. If the receiving computer is not connected to the host computers network, the host computer sends it on to another computer that can then send it to the receiving computer. It is not unusual for the message to pass through several routers before it finally reaches its destination. The transmission of these messages from one computer to another is the Internet.
Telecommunications
networks form the
Internet when they are linked together to pass data back and forth in packets.

These users can be employees, customers, or business partners, to name a few.
In order to protect the information on the extranet, authentication protocols are used, such as a user name and password that allows an individual user to access the information.
Network topology refers to the structure of the network that describes how the communication links and hardware devices are set up. Three different types of network topology include the star network, the bus network, and the mesh network. In a star network all of the network devices connect to each other through one single device called a hub node. A bus network connects through a common backbone that is a shared communication medium. In a mesh network, multiple access points link devices that communicate with each other and create a communication network that covers a large area.
There are several types of networks that include personal area network (PAN), local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), and the wide area network (WAN). A personal area network is a computer network that is used for the transmission of data between devices like computers, phones, and digital assistants.
A local area network connects computers inside a limited area, for example, schools, homes,
