  1. Question 1:

    What is the Internet, and how the World Wide Web relates to the Internet?

    The Internet is a large collection of computers all over the world which are connected to one another. The relationship which exists between the World Wide Web and the Internet is that the World Wide Web is a subset of computers on the Internet that has helped make Internet resources available to people who are not computer experts.

  7. Differentiate between circuit switching and packet switching.

    Circuit switching is a single-connection method whereby it is centrally controlled. Whereas packet switching travels from computer to computer along the network by breaking down into packets and labeled electronically with codes for their origin and destination.

    Circuit switching is vulnerable to destruction of signal control point or any link in the single path that carries the signal. Whereas packet switching is more reliable as it uses multiple routers instead of central control point to determine the best way for a packet to move towards its destination. Therefore, if parts of the network is not operating, each router can send individual packets along different paths.

    What is HTML?
    HTML, an acronym for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document—by denoting certain text as links, headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.—and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of "tags" that are surrounded by angle brackets. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code (such as JavaScript) that can affect the behavior of Web browsers and other HTML processors.

    what iModem (from modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded to reproduce the original digital data. Modems can be used over any means of transmitting analog signals, from driven diodes to radio.

    Bandwidth is the amount of data transmitted along a particular communication channel, such as by radio (eg. WiFi) and cable (eg. fibre optic cable).

    Bandwidth is measured in the number of bits transmitted per second, or bps *note: lower case "b"*

    Depending on context, "bandwidth" can refer to the theoretical maximum transfer rate, or the actual rate that data is being transferred.

    For example, the theoretical maximum transfer rate for a 802.11g WLAN connection is Mbps (Mega bits per second) while the actual transfer rate can be somewhere between 25-50% of that, depending on signal quality and the hardware used.

    Question 8:
    Differentiate between intranet and extranet?

    An intranet is an information portal designed specifically for the internal communications of small, medium or large businesses, enterprises, governments, industries or financial institutions of any size or complexity. Intranets can be custom-designed to fit the exact needs of businesses no matter where they are situated. Users of intranets consists mainly of:

    (1) Members of the executive team.
    (2) Accounting and order billing.
    (3) Managers and directors.
    (4) Sales people and support staff.
    (5) Customer service, help desk, etc..

    An extranet is somewhat very similar to an intranet. Extranets are designed specifically to give external, limited access to certain files of your computer systems to:

    (1)Certain large or priviledged customers.
    (2)Selected industry partners.
    (3)Suppliers and subcontractors... etc.

    Therefore, a carefully designed extranet can bring additional business to companies. Intranets and extranets all have three things in common:
    1:They both use secured Internet access to the outside world.
    2:Both can drastically save your company or organization a lot of money.
    3:Both need a user ID & password to control access to the whole system.

  29. 4.Describe the THREE main types of cable used to connect computers to a network.

    The three main types of cable used to connect computers to a network are:

    (i) Twisted-pair cable. It is the earliest telephone and telegraph line or open wire single-wired earth return circuit. It had been used to transmit voice signal for years by telephone companies. The con is it will generate electric interference. This happens when it carries small flow of unwanted electricity in nearby objects, including other wires, created when a wire carries an electric current and generates an electromagnet field around itself. One example of twisted-pair cable is Category 1 cable which had been used by telephone companies for years to transmit voice signal.

    (ii) Coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is mainly used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals, in application such as connecting radio transmitter and receiver with their antennas, computer network (internet) connection, and distributing cable television signal. It is able to carry signal 20 times faster than category 1 cable but more expensive. Unlike twisted-pair cable, electromagnetic interference only occurs only in the space between the inner and outer conductors of coaxial cable. There are 2 types of coaxial cable, the first one is Category 5 cable. It can carry signal between 10 to 100 times faster than coaxial cable and it is easy to install. The second type is Category 5e cable, which is constructed of higher quality materials than Category 5 and carries more signals up to 10 times faster than regular Category 5 cable.

    (iii)Fiber optic cable. It is the most expensive type of cable; transmit pulsing beams of light through very thin of strands of glass. The speed of signal transmission is the fastest among the rest. It permits transmission over a longer distance and at higher bandwidths (date rates) than other forms of communication. Unlike Twisted-pair and coaxial cable, fiber-optic is immune to electromagnetic and electrical interference; there is no cross-talk between signals in different cables and no pickup of environmental noise.

    Answer:
    Internet is one of the most amazing technological development of the 20th century which is a large collection of computers all over the world connected to one another. Furthermore, it is also a new way to communicate with each other through email, electronic discussions, instant messaging and more. Therefore, people has the chance to do business online by coordinating worldwide operations, recruiting employees from every part of the world etc.We can use it to search for information, resources and software that we want, such as newspaper, magazines, government documents, research reports, books and software download sites, and entertainment like interactive games etc. The World Wide Web is a subset of computers on the internet that has helped make the Internet resources available to people who are not computer experts.

  32. 2. What are the FOUR categories of Internet uses? Name some of the examples from these categories.

    The first category of internet uses is new ways to communicate. For instance, e-mail. I think e-mail is like the substitute for the letter because letter is send through by postman and it takes at least 3 days to send to the receiver; while e-mail is send via internet and it just take a few second to send. The following example is electronic discussions such as windows live messenger, ebuddy, meebo and so forth. Then, instant messaging is like SMS.

    Second category of internet uses is information resources and software. The examples are newspapers and magazines (people can read the recently news or even old news by exploring the internet), government documents, research reports and books (students can do their online research for their own purpose), and software download sites (people can even download software such as antivirus software, photoshop software, or songs, movies, and games).

    Third category of internet uses is doing business online. For example, electronic storefronts, coordinate worldwide operations (businessman even can online meeting with their customer or staff if they are in another country), and recruit employees (nowadays, many companies try to online to recruit new employer).

    Fourth category of internet uses is entertainment. We can uses internet to review restaurants, movies, theater, musical events and books. For instance, people can review what movies they want to watch, at which theater, when, and then straight away book their ticket. Moreover, people also can share or play interactive games with their friend. Follow sports teams is another example under this category.

    Lastly, all of us are using internet to do our tutorial question, quiz or even download our lecturer notes from internet.

  40. Question 15: Explain what modem is.

    A modem is the derived short form name for modulator-demodulator. Its main purpose is to convert digital signals of 1 and 0s to analog signals or tones, so that it could be transferred as specific frequencies through cables and lines such as the telephone or television cable lines, to the intended receiver or device. The process of converting the digital signal of the sending device to analog signal is called modulation, and the process of converting the analog signal to back to digital signal is called demodulation, hence the word, ‘Modem’.

    From the earliest modem device capable of sending 300bps (bits per second) or baud (different than bits per second, rather it is symbols per second), its transmission speed soon grew as a result of rapid technology developments and needs, and as of today we have various types of modems available for different needs, access and usage, such as the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) modem, the Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) modem, cable modem and even a satellite modem, where the SDSL modem is mostly used for business corporations. Cable modems are mostly used for television devices to access to the Internet, provided by cable TV provider and the lesser-known satellite modem, that converts digital signals to radio waves to communicate with satellite dishes.

    The most common modem used in most households is the ADSL modem, which if you subscribe to Streamyx for your Internet connection in Malaysia, the blue colored ADSL modem device will be included in the Internet subscription package. ADSL modem’s advantages is its faster downloading speed rather than uploading speed, which is in the interest of most casual computerists’ needs, as well as faster than the original dial-up modem. It also allows the usage of the telephone line simultaneously with the usage of the Internet connection, something that the dial-modem is not capable of.

For example it is expressed as; 255.8.24.199 The IPv4 addresses has 4 billion different combinations but it is becoming much more limited in the near future. In terms of mobility, IPv4 uses Mobile IPv4.

    IPv6 is the new protocol set up to replace IPv4. It consists of 128 bits and is expressed in a hex-decimal form as opposed to IPv4 which is expressed in a decimal form. For instance, a hex-decimal is shown as; 2001:db8:0:d802:2d0:b7ff:fe88:eb8a
    IPv6 has about 70 octillion different combinations and has better improved security and network related features. It also has better bandwidth efficiency. Mobile IPv6 provides fast handovers, better router optimization and hierarchical mobility. Hence, it provides better efficiency and scalability in terms of working with the latest 3G mobile technologies.

  51. Q11. What is the formal definition of Internet that was adopted in 1995 by the Federal Networking Council (FNC)?

    Answer:
    The Federal Networking Council (FNC) agrees that the following language reflects our definition of the term Internet. Internet refers to the global information system that

    (i)it is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons

    (ii) is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other IP-compatible protocols

    (iii) provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described herein.

    5. Differentiate between circuit switching and packet switching.

    Circuit switching is centrally controlled and has a single connection method. It is used by most of the local telephone traffic today.

    Packet switching is when files are broken down into packets and labeled electronically with codes for their origin and destination. These packets travel along the network from computer to computer until they reach their destination. Routers determine the best way for a packet to move to its destination, this best way is determined by the use of routing algorithms.

    Packet switching is more reliable than circuit switching as packet switching rely on multiple routers instead of one central point of control. Thus, each router can send individual packets along different paths if parts of the network are not operating. This is in contrast to circuit switching, where the signal control point or link in the single path that carries the signal is vulnerable to destruction. Once it is destroyed, the files and messages can no longer reach its destination.

  57. "what is the internet and how internet relates to the world wide web?

    Internet is a large collection of computers all over the world connected to one another. By Internet users be able to share information along. The computer (host) that connects to the Internet is able to access information from an enormous array of available server and also other computer by moving the information to the local’s memory. Internet is decentralized by design and each Internet computer is independent. Its operator can choose which Internet services to use and which local service to make available to the global Internet community.
    How Internet relate to World Wide Web (www)? The Internet and The Web are two separate but related things. Web is a way to accessing information through the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet.

    The web is just the ways to spread the information over the Internet, and Internet is the massive network of network, network infrastructure that connects a millions of computers together globally.

  68. Q4.Describe the THREE main types of cable used to connect computers to a network.

    1. Twisted-pair cable: it is the oldest type of cable and it is commonly used by telephone campanies.one of the example of this cable is Category 1 cable. This cable is a twisted-pair cable that telephone companies have used for years to transmit voice signals.

    2. Coaxial cable: this cable is 20 times faster than Category 1 cable and of course it is more expensive compare to twisted-pair cable. Then, there are two types of coaxial cable- Category 5 cable and Category 5e cable. Category 5 cable carries signals between 10 and 100 times faster than coaxial cable and it is easy to install. While Category 5e cable constructed of higher quality materials than Category 5 cable and it carries more signals up to 10 times faster than regular Category 5 cable.

    3. Fiber-optic cable: this is the most expensive type of cable and it transmits pulsing beams of light through very thin strands of glass. so it has the fastest transmission rate.

    Packet-switching transfer files and messages by broken down into packets and labeled electronically with codes for their origin and destination. These packets from computer to computer along the network until they reach their destination, moreover, the routers detemine the best way for a packet to move towards its destination. It is more rely on multiple routers instead of central point of control. Besides, each router can send individual packets along different paths if parts of the network are not operating.
