possible by e-mail.

 

 

WWW

The World Wide Web (WWW) is an Internet system to distribute graphical, hyper-linked

 

information, based on Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - a client/server protocol for the

 

World Wide Web. The Web is not synonymous with the Internet; rather, it is just one service

 

on the Internet. Other services on the Internet include Internet Relay Chat and

 

Newsgroups. The Web is accessed through use of a browser.

 

 

E-Mail

Electronic mail consists of messages sent through a computer network to specific groups or

 

individuals. Here are some default ports for e-mail:

 

 

VoIP (SIP)

Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP or VoIP. Session Initiated

 

Protocol (SIP) is an internationally recognized standard for implementing VoIP. SIP is an

 

application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the setting up, altering and

 

tearing down of voice and multimedia sessions over the Internet.

 

SIP is transported primarily over UDP but can also be transported over TCP.

 

 

BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a free P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing tool allowing you to distribute large software

 

and media files. BitTorrent requires you to search for a file with a searching engine yourself.

 

It distributes files by corporation and trading, that is, the client downloads the file in small

 

pieces and share the pieces with other peers to get other half of the file.
