INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE???

INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE

Hierarchy of networks :
  • -      From single computer to LAN
  • -      From LAN to ISP
  • -      From ISP to WWW
In order to connect yourself to the Internet,
 -      Computer
 -      Web browser
 -      Internet access (ISP)

However, policy and procedure to bring you to internet is quite complicated.

Internet Protocol (IP)

- Is the Internet standard protocol that provides a common layer over dissimilar/unique network.
- To move packets among ‘Host’ computer through gateways.
- Every computer assign unique IP address.
- IP address consist of 32 bits (shown as 4 octets of numbers from 0-225 represented in decimal form instead of binary).













IP address consists of 2 part :

o   Identifying the network
o   Identifying the node/host

Class of address determines which part belongs to the network address and which part belongs to node.
o   E.g. : Fakulti Pendidikan UTM uses 168 as Identity for network.
All nodes on given network share the same network (share network identifier) prefix but must have a unique host number.



Class A network
-Binary address start with 0, therefore decimal number can be anywhere from 1 to 126.
-The first 8 bits (the first octet) identify the network and the remaining 24 bits indicate the host within the network.
-102.168.212.226

Class B network (0>X = Class B)
-Binary address start with 10 = decimal number can be anywhere from 128 to 191.
-The number 127 is reserved for loopback and is uses for internal testing on local machine.
-The first 16 bits = identify the network and the remaining 16 bits indicate the host.
-168.21.226.104

Class C network
-Binary address start with 110 = decimal number can be anywhere from 192 to 223.
-The first 24 bits = identify the network
-200.168.212.226

Class D network
-Binary address start with 1110 = decimal number can be anywhere from 224 to 239.
-Used for support multitasking.

Class E network
-Binary address start with 1111 = decimal number can be anywhere from 240 to 255.
-Used for experiment, never been documented/ utilized in a standard way.



Why only 127 as loopback?
- 127.0.0.1 is the loopback Internet protocol (IP) address also referred to as the “localhost.”
- The address is used to establish an IP connection to the same machine or computer being used by the end-user.
- The same convention is defined for computer’s that support IPv6 addressing using the connotation of ::1.
- Establishing a connection using the address 127.0.0.1 is the most common practice; however, using any IP address in the range of 127.*.*.* will function in the same or similar manner.
- The loopback construct gives a computer or device capable of networking the capability to validate or establish the IP stack on the machine.
127 is an easy number to remember (01111111).
127 is the last network number in a class A network with a subnet mask of 250.0.0.0.
- 127.0.0.1. is the first assignable address in the subnet.


DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM)

-    -  Internet service that translates domain names like www.yahoo.com into numerical IP address like 204.63.131.129.
-    -  moe.gov.my  DNS
-    -  Why we use DNS?
o   Domain names or alphabetic, because it is easier to remember.


ISP (INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER)
it refers to a company that provides Internet services, including personal and business access to the Internet.
- The service provider provides a software package, username, password and access phone number.
- Equipped with a modem or broadband.
- In addition to serving individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection from the company's networks to the Internet. ISPs themselves are connected to one another through Network Access Points (NAPs).
- ISPs may also be called IAPs (Internet Access Providers).
  Eg : Celcom, mobile


What is HTTP?
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol 

Client sends request (HEAD, GET, PUT)
Server replies with
response code (3-digit)
response text (string)
document (depending on code)
Client displays document or error to user
