Internet

The Internet’s Fundamental Rings: There are three basic Internet architecture communication rings. The first, or

sending layer, addresses and sends data to the third or receiving layer. The data

passes through the second or middle layer, often referred to as the cloud.

Ownership of communication rings:

There are three basic Internet architecture communication rings. The first, or sending layer, addresses and sends data to the third or receiving layer. The data passes through the second or middle layer, often referred to as the cloud.

Cloud participation

The cloud is participated in by literally every telephone, telco, and communication entity. These include Vodafone, Bharti Airtel, Reliance BSNL, MTNL, Tata, AT&T, British Telecom, Google, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Etc. each network’s infrastructure is patched together, allowing all transmission signals to pass through the entire Internet. The cloud is ever-expanding in processing muscle and speed.

Optical fibre cables:

Powerful new transmission cabling made of glass, often referred to as fiber, allow heavier (higher concentration) of data to travel at much higher rates of speed. Fiber is now laid on much of the planet, strong cables cress-crossing every ocean and most seas. The data moves through the Internet through the use of more sophisticated routes than those of LAN networks.

Data Transmission Process

Though data may appear as all one communiqué, for instance an email message, it is actually sent in a series of data packets. Each packet of data having an individual identification label. This is an important part of the Internet Protocol (IP) structure, allowing each Internet transmission to be identified with its unique packet ID.

Routers and Data packets:

As routers are used to regulate the flow of data through the internet, so are switches use to verify each transmission’s packets and assure all packets that were sent are received to the point of each participating switch. If a data packet is lost or corrupted (unreadable), a switch detects the need and requests a replacement packet. In this interactive fashion, each transmission’s integrity is sustained and received as they are sent.

Reciever Ring:

The IP allows packets being received to be collected into a buffer before it is revealed to the user. We may see this in music or video transmissions we are receiving. A line may appear to “fill-up” before the video image begins or we hear the music. This line reveals our buffer being filled. If the receiver’s line speed is slow, the data in the buffer may expire before the transmission is complete. If this happens, the receiver’s audio or video is automatically paused as the buffer fills. The receiver ring of the Internet is sometimes referred to as the edge, or the last mile. As the edge is often under-developed for consumers, heavy bandwidth data such as pictures, music and video are often said to create congestion at the edge, because there is greater user demand than the edge infrastructure can accommodate. The sender and cloud are typically not congested, only the edge.

Edge Infrastructure:

Powerful edge infrastructure is enabled for multinational corporations, schools, hospitals, communications companies and others who must have constant, uninterrupted transmissions.

The world is flat:

The term, ‘the world is flat,’ refers to the Internet putting everyone within immediate reach of everyone else. Even if we speak another language, we can click or drag a translator into what we want to read. For almost every culture’s language, the translator coverts, Russian, or Urdu, or Mandarin, Thai, etc. into our language.

Open Source:

Software engineers have surfaced project sites on the Internet, many of which are purely voluntary. Other software engineers join in, literally contributing their help in the creation of powerful new software. These volunteer group initiatives are often referred to as “Open source,” because the source code of the software is open for qualified engineers to see and

improve and everyone to use.

Internet Culture

The Internet provides instant customer reaction from negative, to endearment or interest, to requesting information, downloading a coupon, setting a test – drive appointment or actual purchase.

Multicast and Unicast:

Radio, television and satellite transmission is referred to as ‘multicast,’ referring to one way communication, from a single sending source to an unlimited number of receivers. The transmitter sends the signal, but it is up to the receiver to assure get it. Multicast has no natural capability for the sender to ascertain if the transmission is received or to determine the quality/integrity of its signal.

Unicast and internet communication:

The internet’s primary transmission method is ‘unicast,’ referring to being interactive, or two-way communication, as well as it being from one sender to just one receiver. Unicast’s IP includes the sender’s assurance that the transmission is received and its quality is complete. If message transmission is problematic, it is either resent or a message is given to the sender reporting the problem.

Internet’s Future:

The Internet is today and tomorrow’s new frontier. Most futurists agree the Internet has barely taken its first steps relative to its maturity. Communication, family relationships, education, health, entertainment, media and business all will continue to significantly change in its use. Its new transformations will largely be imagineered and implemented by the first internet-literate generation-you.
