*Working Principles of
Internet
*Connecting to the
Internet
*Connecting your computer
*Connecting to the Internet from online services
*How ISDN works
*The Internet/Television connection
*How Network Computers(NCs) Work
*How the Digital Subscriber line (DSL) works
*How satellite and palmtop connections work
*Connecting your
Computer
*Dumb Terminal
*A terminal that is connected to a mainframe or
other kind of computer
*Eg
*Library or universities
*Internet access than dumb terminals provide
*Terminal Emulation
*A personal computer can connect via modem to
a large computer
*The computer works like a dumb terminal,
except it is connected via a phone line instead
of direct connection
*This kind of internet account is sometimes
called a shell account
Direct Connection
LANs or large computers such as mainframes can be
directly connected to the internet.
SLIP
Serial Line Internet Protocol
Full Internet connection over telephone lines
PPP(Point to Point Protocol)
Like tSLIP, via modem
it resends any damaged packets
ISDN line
Special digital telephone lines
speed 64 kbps to 128 kbps
cost more than normal phone lines
ASDL (Assymentic Digital Subscriber Line)
Provide Very High speed connection
Cable Modem
Cable TV system using coaxial cable
Faster than conventional medem 10 to 20 times
Network Computer
low cost network computer
Web TV
Using set top box through television
Online Services
No special setup is equired
Dial up connections
*Connecting to the
Internet from other
services
Compu serve or America online
Own s/w –easy to access internet
Dial directly to get resources
Firewall
It is a Security system of accepting or
blocking packets as they are transmitted across
a network.
*How Works ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network
*The Internet/Television
Connection
*How Cable Modem Works
*Coaxial Cable –Broad Band
*2 connections
*Normal set top box access TV
*Next Wire is for Broadband modem
*It carries signal simultaneously
*How WebTV works
*Use Internet and watch TV same time
*Set top box capability to accept add-ons
*Screens use RGB colors
*Convert signal from RGB to NSTC
*Web tv box connects to web tv network
*Simple remote unit control webtv
*How Network
Computers Work
*Low cost computers with little or no local storage
*No CD –ROM Drives or Pheripherals
*EG ATM Machine
*Silicon chip, card reader,NC
*Get PIN for Authorization
*NC used for email, games or word processor
*How the DSL works
Digital Subscriber line
ASDL –it doesn’t need any special wires
Send and receive as all digital data
It enables talk on telephone and use internet
simultaneously
Divides phone line into 3 channels
Receiving Data
Sending Data
Talking over the phone
*How Satellite &
Palmtop Work
Satellite connection –DirecPC Satellite
Much higher speed than normal modems
Webserver send information to satellite ground
stataion (NOC)
Network operations center send info to satellite
above earth at 400 kilobits per second
*Palmtop Computers
Browse on web
*Palm device –proxiweb s/w
*ISP –modem
*Proxy Server
*Webserver
*Communicating on
the Internet
*How Email Works
*Email spam & Blocking
*How Usenet newsgroup work
*How internet chat and Instant Messaging work
*Making phone calls on the Internet
*How Email Works
*Anatomy of a Mail Message
*ASCII code
*Attach pictures, sounds, videos and other files
*Automatically doing Encode and decode
*E-mail address must be In a format
*Otherwise message not sent
*Email is Delivered
the Internet
*Send packets using TCP/IP protocol
*Routers look address and send the mail correct
path to reach destination
*All packets are received address then
recombined to read receiver
*Subscribe to receive mails (Mail Reflector)
*How Email Software
Works
*Compose
*Send
*Inbox
*Trash
*Create group mailing
*Add Signature
*Create own folder
*Spam
*How Email is sent between
networks
*LDAP
*Lightweight Directory Acess Protocol
*How Email
Encryption works
Avoid Snoopers & Hackers
Public (Encrypt)& Private (Decrypt)Key
Encryption Progam PGP
Copy of private key have sender
Receiver uses the private key to decrypt the
email
Some softwares decrypted automatically
Internet won’t understand, it see only
random characters
*Email Spam & Blocking
Spam –unsolicited email sent to you
Spam is sent out bulk of emails
To get bulk of email address from company
servers
Spammers hide their email address
The mail have from, sender and reply
The mail come from someone not spammer
Doing this sometimes called SPAMOUFLAGE
*How Email Spam is
Blocked
*Filter out mail from certain addresses
*This feature is spam filter or spam blocker
*ISP’s and online service can block spammers
*Routing table find spammer email address
*But Spammers change therir email address
often
*So Routing table also can’t fine spammer email
address perfectly
*How Usenet
Newsgroups work
*It is a global bulletin board & discussion area
*Newsgroups can be found on many host
computers across internet.
*2 Newsgroups
*Moderated
*Unmoderated
*Moderated
Newsgroup
*A human moderator receives and reads all the
messages for the newsgroup.
*The moderator then decides which messages
are should be post.
*The messages to be posted are put on a
newsgroup server.
*Other messages are discarded.
*Unmoderated
Newsgroups
All messages are put directly on the server.
Newsgroups and all their messages are stored
on a Usenet server.
Usenet server communicate with one another,
so that all messages posted on one server are
duplicated on other servers.
Although there are many usenetservers, not
all servers carry all newsgroups.
Each site decides which newsgroups to carry.
*Pictures, Multimedia files & exe programs can be posted in
newsgroups for others see & use.
*A common encoding scheme used on newsgroups is called
uuencode.
*Newsgroup reader software lets read messages and respond
to newsgroups.
*New messages will automatically be delivered to when you
check the server.
*You will also be able to cancel your subscription

*Choose a specific channel to join & choose a username.
*After joining channel able to see the conservation.
*The messages sent from your server to other servers.
*Under spanning tree server structure the messages takes
shortest route to reach destination.
*People read & respond messages.
