Connecting to the Internet Wireless Internet Access Mobile broadband: Connect to Internet through cellular network to get 3G or 4G access. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 12
TCP/IP Architecture 6-13 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) Protocol used between browsers and web servers. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Used for transmissions. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Used to move files over Internet. Web-Internet-based network of browsers and servers that process http or https. When you use ftp or smtp, you are using Internet, not web. Application Layer Protocols 6-14 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
TCP or Transmission Control Protocol Breaks traffic up into pieces and send each piece along its way IP (Internet Protocol) Specifies routing of pieces of data communication through networks that comprise any Internet Packet is a piece of a message that is handled by programs that implement IP Router is a special purpose computer that moves packet traffic according to rules of IP protocol TCP and IP Protocols 6-15 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
