Internet Technologies

Internet Technologies means technologies using one or more computer networks that utilize TCP/IP, IP or other architecture or that uses computer terminals, terminal servers, routers, multicasting technology or other data processing or transmission device (regardless of transmission speed experienced by the end user) whether via cable, wire, wireless, set-top boxes or other technology, regardless of the enduser's viewing device.TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message.The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets from the same message are routeddifferently than others, they’ll be reassembled at the destination.This ebook guides you through the steps you need to take to make a useful and usable intranet, from identifying your user’s needs and
building an indispensable tool, to marketing the results.
