It can also be known as the TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) protocol suite and it basically changes domain name (name of a website) information that we can understand into a way computers understand. This has to be done because computers do not work in letters, only in numbers, so what the computer reads will be something like 80.35.451.42. It is also how computers identify each other on networks. You must also remember that all websites are just different IP addresses. Every web page that you look at also involves packets (small files that can be sent over the internet fast). Inside each packet will be chunks of data that you need to view your requested web page.
