This slide examines what the Internet is – ask students to describe it and what they use it for. The text calls it the most extensive public communication system and the world’s largest implementation of client/server computing. Ask students how they connect to the Internet. Do any of their families use dial-up (telephone/modem). Do any use satellite? Note that T lines are leased, dedicated lines suitable for businesses or government agencies requiring high-speed guaranteed service levels. Ask students what an IP address is used for. Note that the domain name system makes it possible for people to remember addresses. * This graphic describes how the domain name system works. Note that the “root” domain is the period that is used before the top-level domain, such as .edu or .com. Give students an example Internet address, such as and ask them what the top, second-, and third-level domains are. * This slide continues the discussion about the Internet and what it is, looking at the structure of the Internet’s networks and the organizations that help manage the Internet. Ask students who owns the trunk lines and regional networks. Note that the Internet governance organizations influence government agencies, network owners, ISPs and software developers with the goal of keeping the Internet operating as efficiently as possible. The Internet must also conform to the laws of the nations in which it operates, as well as the technical infrastructures that exist within the nations. Ask students if they know which organization assigns IP addresses (ICANN). Note that the IP addresses currently in use, such as 4 are part of a specification called IP v 5. However, given the growth rate of the Internet, there aren’t enough IP addresses in this scheme to last beyond 2013. IP v 6 is a revised addressing convention that will provide over a quadrillion addresses. Ask students what types of technologies Internet 2 is working on (improved routing, different service levels,
