Intranet

This is a private network, inside an organization or

 

company that uses the same software you will find on

 

the public Internet. The only difference is that an

 

Intranet is used for internal usage only.

Internet

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers

 

that are logically connected based on the Internet

 

Protocol (IP). The Internet provides different ways to

 

access private and public information worldwide.

Internet

To participate in Internet communications and on

address

Internet Protocol-based networks, a node must have an

 

Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes.

 

All Internet addresses are IP addresses

IP

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the

 

layout of the basic unit of information on the Internet

 

(the packet) and also details the numerical addressing

 

format used to route the information. Your Internet

 

service provider controls the IP address of any device

 

it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your

 

network must conform to IP addressing rules. In

 

smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP

 

function of a router or gateway to assign the IP

 

addresses on internal networks.

IP address

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies

 

each sender or receiver of information that is sent in

 

packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is

 

an IP address, it is the closet thing the Internet has to

 

telephone numbers. When you “call” that number,

 

using any connection methods, you get connected to

 

the computer that “owns” that IP address.
