Internet: a public global network of computers that cooperate with each other to exchange data
using a common software standard
Intranet- a private network of computers owned by organization but uses the internet
networking standard and web technologies e.g. browsers and programming languages
Extranet-these are private intranets that have limited access to collaborations such as suppliers’
customers etc. they are often used by collaborators to provide product availability pricing
shipment data an electronic data interchange
Software standards-these are common protocol, format of a document, file or data transfer
accepted and used by one or more developers while working on one or more than one computer
program egg html, tcp/ip(transmission control protocol/internet protocol), smtp(simple mail
transfer protocol)
Describe the world wide web-is a collection of websites hosted in servers (sharing data
resources among multiple clients) throughout the world and interconnected/linked using
hyperlinks
Website-a collection of webpages which are logically connected by use of hyperlink and related
in the sense that they contain data for a given organization
Homepage-the introductory or first page of a website stored as index or default so that it can be
accessible
Protocol-set of rules and regulations that determine how data is transmitted in communication
and networking
Ftp-standard network protocol used for transfer of computer files between a client and a server
on a computer network
Domain name- it provides a naming scheme for tcp/ip host. Ip address (192.1722.10.254) is not
user friendly thus the use of domain name. domain name is created and accessed with the help of
DNS server
It must be unique
The name must be placed under one top level domain e.g. .AC,. COM,.AC.KE,.GO.KE
Routers-a special device which reads the destination address on the packets being sent by your
computer and then forwards the packet to the appropriate destination
Email -a computer-based storage and forwarding of text-based message. The standard e-mails is
based on a tcp/ip service known as smtp which specifies the addressing convections, the: @:
sign, username and locations
It is fast
You can send and receive electronic files that contain text, graphics, sounds and moving videos
Tcp/ip-a standard method of transmitting data in small packets across incompatible networks
Tcp-transmission control protocol is the set protocol that enables all the networks of the internet
to communicate and provide for reliable delivery of data between communicating application
Ip-allows a packet to transverse multiple networks on the way to its final destination. It takes
care of addressing, making sure that the router knows what to do with your data which it carries
