Internet is such a huge network of several
different interlinked networks relating to the business, government,
academic, and even smaller domestic networks, therefore internet is
known as the network of all the other networks. These networks enable
the internet to be used for various important functions which include
the several means of communications like the file transfer, the online
chat and even the sharing of the documents and web sites on the WWW, or
the World Wide Web.
It is always mistaken said that the internet and
the World Wide Web are both the same terms, or are synonymous. Actually
there is a very significant difference between the two which has to be
clear to understand both the terms. The internet and World Wide Web are
both the networks yet; the internet is the network of the several
different computers which are connected through the linkage of the
accessories like the copper wires, the fiber optics and even the latest
wireless connections. However, the World Wide Web consists of the
interlinked collection of the information and documents which are taken
as the resource by the general public. These are then linked by the
website URLs and the hyperlinks. Therefore World Wide Web is one of the
services offered by the whole complicated and huge network of the
internet.
The use of IP in the Internet is the integral
part of the network, as they provide the services of the internet,
through different layers organization through the IP data packets. There
are other protocols that are the sub-classes of the IP itself, like the
TCP, and the HTTP.
