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 address

To participate in Internet communications and on 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. When you “call” that number, using any connection

 

methods, you get connected to the computer that “owns”

 

that IP address.

ISP

ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that maintains a

 

network that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated

 

communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated

 

communication lines to companies or individuals who can’t

 

afford the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
