The Internet and the World Wide Web

• Computer network

– Any technology that allows people to connect computers to each other

• The Internet

– A large system of interconnected computer networks spanning the globe

• World Wide Web

– A subset of computers on the Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 3

Origins of the Internet

• Early 1960s– U.S. Department of Defense funded research to

explore creating a worldwide network

• In1969, Defense Department researchers connected four computers into a network called ARPANET

• Throughout the 1970s and 1980s– Academic researchers connected to ARPANET

and contributed to its technological developments

New Uses for the Internet

• 1972– E-mail was born

• Mailing list – E-mail address that forwards any message

received to any user who has subscribed to the list

• Usenet– Started by a group of students and programmers

at Duke University and the University of North Carolina

Growth of the Internet• In 1991, the NSF

– Eased restrictions on commercial Internet activity – Began implementing plans to privatize the Internet

• Network access points (NAPs)– Basis of the new structure of the Internet

• Network access providers– Sell Internet access rights directly to larger

customers and indirectly to smaller firms and individuals through ISPs

Growth of the Internet

Page 7: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 7

Emergence of the World Wide Web (continued)

• Tim Berners-Lee developed code for a hypertext server program

• Hypertext server– Stores files written in the hypertext markup

language– Lets other computers connect to it and read files

• Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)– Includes a set of codes (or tags) attached to text

Page 8: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 8

Packet-Switched Networks

• Local area network (LAN)

– Network of computers located close together

• Wide area networks (WANs)

– Networks of computers connected over greater distances

Page 9: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 9

Packet-Switched Networks (continued)

• Packets

– Files and e-mail messages on a packet-switched network that are broken down into small pieces

– Travel from computer to computer along the interconnected networks until they reach their destinations

Page 10: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 10

Routing Packets

• Routing computers– Computers that decide how best to forward

packets

• Routing algorithms– Rules contained in programs on router computers

that determine the best path on which to send packets

– Programs apply their routing algorithms to information they have stored in routing tables

Page 11: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 11

Router-based Architecture of the Internet

Page 12: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 12

Internet Protocols

• Protocol– Collection of rules for formatting, ordering, and error-

checking data sent across a network

• Rules for message handling– Independent networks should not require any internal

changes to be connected to the network– Packets that do not arrive at their destinations must

be retransmitted from their source network– Router computers act as receive-and-forward devices– No global control exists over the network

Page 13: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 13

TCP/IP

• TCP

– Controls disassembly of a message or a file into packets before transmission over the Internet

– Controls reassembly of packets into their original formats when they reach their destinations

• IP

– Specifies addressing details for each packet

Page 14: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 14

IP Addressing

• Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) – Uses a 32-bit number to identify computers

connected to the Internet

• Base 2 (binary) number system– Used by computers to perform internal

calculations

• Subnetting– Use of reserved private IP addresses within LANs

and WANs to provide additional address space

Page 15: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 15

IP Addressing (continued)

• Private IP addresses– Series of IP numbers not permitted on packets

that travel on the Internet

• Network Address Translation (NAT) device– Used in subnetting to convert private IP addresses

into normal IP addresses

• Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) – Protocol that will replace IPv4– Uses a 128-bit number for addresses

Page 16: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 16

Domain Names

• Sets of words assigned to specific IP addresses

• Top-level domain (or TLD)

– Rightmost part of a domain name

Web Page Request and Delivery Protocols

• Web client computers– Run software called Web client software or Web

browser software

• Web server computers– Run software called Web server software

• Client/server architecture– Combination of client computers running Web

client software and server computers running Web server software

Page 19: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 19

Web Page Request and Delivery Protocols (continued)

• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

– Set of rules for delivering Web page files over the Internet

• Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

– Combination of the protocol name and domain name

– Allows user to locate a resource (the Web page) on another computer (the Web server)

Page 20: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 20

Electronic Mail Protocols

• Electronic mail (e-mail)– Must be formatted according to a common set of

rules

• E-mail server– Computer devoted to handling e-mail

• E-mail client software– Used to read and send e-mail– Examples include Microsoft Outlook and Netscape

Messenger

Page 21: MELJUN CORTES Internet

Electronic Commerce, Sixth Edition 21

Electronic Mail Protocols (continued)

• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) – Specifies format of a mail message

• Post Office Protocol (POP)– POP message can tell the e-mail server to

• Send mail to a user’s computer and delete it from the e-mail server

• Send mail to a user’s computer and not delete it

• Simply ask whether new mail has arrived

– Provides support for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
