How are Connection to the Internet broken down?
|
physical connection, the logical connection, and applications.
|
|
|
Explain the physical connection.
|
A physical connection is made by connecting an adapter card, such as a modem or a NIC, from a PC to a network. The physical connection is used to transfer signals between PCs within the local-area network (LAN) and to remote devices on the Internet.
|
|
|
explain the local connection
|
The logical connection uses standards called protocols
|
|
|
What is a protocol
|
A protocol is a formal description of a set of rules and conventions that govern how devices on a network communicate.
|
|
|
What is the primary set of protocol used on the internet
|
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite is the primary set of protocols used on the Internet
|
|
|
How does the TCP/IP protocol suite work
|
The TCP/IP suite works together to transmit and receive data, or information.
|
|
|
Explain the application part of the internet connection
|
or software programs, that interpret and display data in an understandable form. Applications work with protocols to send and receive data across the Internet.
