INTERNET AS A NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Meaning of Internet:
The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over the world
Through the Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere
with an Internet connection.
How Does the Internet Work?
Computers that we use every day are called clients because they are indirectly connected to
the Internet through an internet service provider. When you open a webpage on your
computer, you connect to the webpage, and then you can access it. Computers break the
information into smaller pieces called packets, which are reassembled in their original order.
If we put the right address on a packet and send it to any computer which is connected as part
of the internet, each computer would figure out which cable to send it down next so that it
would get to its destination. With several computers on a network, it may create c
even with unique addresses. This transfer of messages is handled by the Packet Routing
Network, and hence a router is required to set up.

The Transfer Control Protocol is another system that makes sure no packet is lost or left
behind because it might create a disrupted message at the receiving end.
The below are the steps for how the message is transferred.
First, Computer1 sends a message by IP address to Computer2
The message sent by Computer1 is broken into small pieces
These small pieces- packets are transferred concerning Transfer Protocol so that the

Ways to Connect To Internet
The different ways in which one can connect to the Internet are discussed below in brief:
Dial-Up – In such connections, users are required to link their phone line to a
computer to access the Internet. Under this connection, the user cannot make or
receive phone calls through tier home phone service
Broadband – Provided either through cable or phone companies, Broadband is a
high-speed internet connection which is widely used today
Wireless Connection – Wi-fi and Mobile service providers fall under this category.
Internet connectivity is made via radio waves and the Internet can be connected
anywhere, irrespective of the location. Given below are a few examples of wireless
connection:
Wi-fi – Wireless Fidelity or wi-fi allows high-speed internet connectivity
without the use of wires
Mobile Phones – All smartphones are now equipped with an option for
Internet connectivity which can be availed using Internet vouchers and packs.
No external connection or wire is required for these
Satellite – Where broadband connections are unavailable, satellites are used
for wireless Internet connectivity
Integrated Services Digital Network – ISDN allows users to sent audio or
video data using telephone lines
Internet Connection Protocols
Protocols are a set of rules that help in governing the way in which any particular body or
technology works.
Internet Connection Protocols can be divided into three major types:
• TCP/IP Network Model – Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol
(IP) are the most widely used protocols for connecting networks. It divides any
message into a series of packets which are sent from source to destination
• File Transfer Protocol – Program files, multimedia files, text files, documents, etc.
can be transferred from one device to another, using FTP
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol – Used for transferring a hypertext from one device to
two or more devices. HTML tags are used for creating links and these links may be in
the form of text or images

How does IoT work?
An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices
that use embedded systems, such as processors, sensors and
communication hardware, to collect, send and act on data they acquire
from their environments.
The devices do most of the work without human
intervention, although people can interact with the devices -- for
instance, to set them up, give them instructions or access the data.

tell you when you were running low on milk or eggs. But in
today’s world, where smart appliances are able to sync with smart
phones, such marvels have become almost commonplace. Yet,
while video doorbell systems and voice-response microwaves
promise to enhance our lives, they also create potential privacy and
security threats.
Given the issue of heightened security, then, original equipment
manufacturers
(OEMs) must continue to take efforts to ensure that
vulnerabilities to over-the-air
(OTA) updates and security patches
are eliminated before they can be exploited. If this is done before
updates are released, people will be able enjoy the benefits of the

B. Ultra Fast 5G
5G is capable of handling massive t
the potential of 4G LTE, which happens to be the current norm. It will
enable you to download an HD movie in the blink of an eye i.e. in a
couple of seconds literally. It will also clear the bandwidth for other
tasks you want to perform over the internet.
C. Edge Hosting
Futuristic internet infrastructure involves a whole lot of edge hosting
networks. The operators who have realized the potential of over
top (OTT) markets have already started earning better profits by
entering these OTT markets via acquisitions. But ed

Intranet
Meaning:
Intranet is defined as private network of computers within an
organization with its own server and firewall. Moreover we can define
Intranet as:
Intranet is system in which multiple PCs are networked to be
connected to each other. PCs in intranet are not available to the
world outside of the intranet.
Usually each company or organization has their own Intranet
network and members/employees of that company can access
the computers in their intranet.
Every computer in internet is identified by a unique IP address.
Each computer in Intranet is also identified by a IP Address,
which is unique among the computers in that Intranet.

Benefits of Intranet
• Communication: Intranet offers easy and cheap communication
within an organization. Employees can communicate using chat,
e-mail or blogs.
• Time Saving: Information on Intranet is shared in real time.
• Collaboration: Information is distributed among the employees
as according to requirement and it can be accessed by the
authorized users, resulting in enhanced teamwork.
• Platform Independency: Intranet can connect computers and
other devices with different architecture.
• Cost Effective: Employees can see the data and other
documents using browser rather than printing them and
distributing duplicate copies among the employees, which
certainly decreases the cost.
• Workforce Productivity: Data is available at every time and
can be accessed using company workstation. This helps the
employees work faster.

Industry Specific Solution for Intranet
1: Finance Technology
Financial technology organizations, especially legacy businesses in desperate
need of a culture facelift, can use their intranet’s powerful announcement
feature to improve communications and strengthen their corporate culture.
Companies can develop a prominent company feed used to manage important
messages and encourage their entire workforce to do the same. The intention of
this feed is to publish various recognition announcements—such as appreciation
posts, automated birthday and work anniversary congratulations, and more. This
can help drastically improve another employee engagement-wise serious office
environment and guide leadership as they work to create a dynamic culture.
2: Health Care
Health care professionals have to work together as a team to provide high-
quality care to their patients, but with rotating shift schedules, individual
employees’ work can often go unrecognized. It can be extremely valuable for
health care companies to use their intranets to focus on employee recognition
and rewards.
Using Workmate’s kudos feature to encourage employees to recognize and
reward their peers is an efficient tool to create a collaborative and enthusiastic
work culture in hospitals, clinics, and beyond. Employees can publish a post at
any time to officially thank any other employee. A reward program where
employees can receive gift cards branded corporate items or other thank-you
mementos can also be created.
3: Commercial Real Estate
A commercial real estate company can create an intranet with social feeds and a
number of different channels to let each specific team send messages and
updates to other departments or the entire company.
For example, an employee can post certain announcements to the social feed,
including welcoming new hires, sharing employees’ personal events (a new
baby!), shootouts to other teams or employees (like congratulating a real estate
agent for closing a deal), office culture updates, and more.

This experience makes communication and collaboration fun. Employees can
upload pictures from a corporate event and share them with the whole company.
They can also create and post surveys and polls—for example, “what type of
cake should we get to celebrate Susan’s birthday?”
Employees can also post memes and hash tags to their social feed, all to
increase camaraderie, collaboration, and teamwork. The company can even use
a powerful analytics dashboard to track active users and the overall engagement
level with the intranet over time.
Industry Specific Solution for Extranet
An extranet is a restricted public network that is shared on a limited basis.
Extranets are typically constructed using the internet with security features that
restrict access to authorized individuals and digital entities. The following are
illustrative examples of an extranet.
1. Project Extranet: A construction project uses an extranet to share
documents with stakeholders such as project management teams and
subcontractors. The extranet consists of a document management system
connected to the internet with security features that limit access to authorized
individuals.
2. Supplier Extranet: A retailer offers an extranet to supply chain partners to
facilitate processes such as invoice payment and reverse logistics. The extranet
consists of a custom built website that is restricted to authorized partners with
techniques such as two-factor authentication.
3. Integration: An ecommerce site integrates with a major retail partner to
automatically exchange inventory data using a secure overlay network on top of
the internet.
4. Employee Extranet: A restaurant chain offers employees an extranet that
allows them to view their timesheets and other data. The site also allows
employees to submit any concerns or recommendations they have without their
manager seeing it. The extranet allows the restaurant's corporate functions such
as human resources to connect directly to employees.

• The message is sent over VPN via VPN Tunnel and this process
is known as tunneling.
• VPN uses Internet Protocol Security Architecture

Protocol to provide secure transactions by adding an
additional security layer to TCP/IP protocol. This layer is
created by encapsulating the IP packet to a new IP packet as
shown in the following diagram:
Examples of Extranet

Suppliers who have access to their customers’ extranet can use the
access to track their products. They can determine whether the
customer should be ready to place a new order, track previous orders,
and manage their inventory appropriately so that there is no supply
interruption.

pages. In this context there are two choices:
• Host it on your own server.
• Host it with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the same way
as web pages.
• But hosting extranet pages on your own server requires high
bandwidth internet connection which is very costly.
Security
Additional firewall security is required if you host extranet pages on
your own server which result in a complex security mechanism and
increase work load.
Accessing Issues
Information can not be accessed without internet connection.
However, information can be accessed in Intranet without internet

Types of Email
POP / Imap / SMTP mail
These are the protocols that allow you to configure email whether on
a mobile phone, desktop PC, notebook, or smart watch.
IMAP is
one of the most common protocols for receiving email.
IMAP
syncs messages across all devices.
POP3 is another protocol for
receiving email on a single device
. Using POP3 means that your
email will be accessible offline and deleted from the server.
Web-based mail
Webmail (or web-based email) is
an email service that can be
accessed using a standard web browser
. It contrasts with email
service accessible through a specialized email client software.
Common examples of webmail include email services from
Yahoo!,
Hotmail, Gmail
and other mainstream providers. Almost all of these
email services are free and offer huge amounts of storage.
Golden rules when Sending an Email
Try to be as brief as you can. Nobody likes to read a bible.
That’s what voice or audio messages are.
Try not to abbreviate words. Write to them correctly.
Please correct your spelling before submitting it.
Please choose the subject of the email as a summary of it
Do not use capital letters, except to start a sentence. Take to
