The Internet on a Note-card

The Internet

“The internet is a series of tubes ” -United States Senator Ted Stevens.

As much as I would like to agree with U.S Senators Ted Stevens, the internet is not a series of tube. The Internet to put in the simplest terms is a network of networks. Just like the simple picture I drew, the internet is just as simple to understand as it looks. The internet is embodies the urge for humans to connect and help one another. As Charlie Chaplin said in the Last Dictator “We want to live by each others’ happiness, not by each other’s misery.”

Explanation of the different parts:

• ISP = Internet Service Provider
• Tier 1- The Node that connects and allows everything to interconnect .
• P2P- Stands for peer to peer and this is the link that allows all those nodes to communicate with each other
• Regional- This hands different privileges to different areas, depending on what part of the world you’re in.

Code for a simple server

When the code runs this is the output after the html file is read.

Here is a simple code of a server. This simple code captures the idea of how one of the circles on the map works. Basically all of the circles on the map are servers and through peer to peer they are able to communicate with each other if this server runs it is able to read an html file and put up a website that one other person can see as long as I have the server running on my computer.
