IP stands for ‘Internet Protocol’ and is made of numbers and periods. It is the name that other computers use to identify one another in a network. Internet protocol is tasked with delivering information packets from the internet to the host device requesting. The data requested is transferred as packets which is the data requested in pieces. The data packet is sent to a gateway computer which either recognizes the address as a device in its domain and sends the packet to the host or pushes the packet to the next gateway. When the data packets reach their destination, they fit back together to for the web page, email, etc. (Rouse, 2008).
DNS stands for ‘Domain Name System’. It is an internet service that works like a translator for humans and

● Firewalls
The firewall comes in hardware or software form and acts as a filter for all data incoming and outgoing the private network. The firewall allows for harmless data packets

to flow into the network and block potentially harmful data packets and unauthorized users from accessing the network. Firewall security settings are what determine what gets through and what does not and can be customized to be more or less secure. Firewalls are included in hardware routers and users should also have a firewall software on the individual computer. Without the firewall, none of the data coming into the network is being filtered and the clients are more likely to receive malicious software in the form of viruses, trojans, worms, etc. Not having a firewall will also make it easier for unauthorized users to connect to the network. The firewall authenticates users through authentication and logins (Rouse 2014).
● LAN vs WAN:
A LAN is a ‘Local Area Network’. It is a small network of computers most often used in homes and small businesses. A LAN allows for computers to communicate
In general, on the internet, every packet follows 5 layers of structures (Application, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical). Since I have to talk about Connection-Oriented and Connectionless as a service, I will focus on the Transport layer because they are part of this layer. It allows multiple applications to use one network connection simultaneously, the layer will create ports on your computer allowing them to be reserved and used by the Application layer. Let's say that port 3600 will be used to send a message to port 80 of some other computer, whenever the port is ready to send a message, it passed on to Transport layer. In this layer, it wraps the message inside the Segment which contains some additional
basis, which list information about the sending router. Included in the packets are a series of
to the TCP/IP layer. These encapsulated packets are then sent over the internet on a P2P connection.
Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams may arrive in a seemingly random order of chunks that the receiving IP entity must continuously collect until it can reconstruct the original datagram. Consider that the receiving IP entity possesses a buffer for assembling the original datagram's data field. The buffer will comprise of chunks of data and "holes" between them corresponding to data not yet received.
Internet Protocol is the layer-3 protocol which takes the data Segments from the transport layer that is layer-4 and divides that data into the packets. The IP packet encapsulates data unit received from above layer and concatenates its header information. The encapsulated data is referred to as IP Payload. The IP header contains all the necessary information required to deliver the packet at the destination. The IP header format is shown in figure (a)
It focuses at one packet at once and after that it applies some set of guidelines to every packet and afterwards it chooses to either forward the packet or dispose the packet. The standards depend on various fields in the IP and TCP/UDP headers i.e. Source and destination address, IP protocol field, TCP/UDP port number.
Which of the following is the term for identifying packets used by TCP to establish a connection?
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is only protocol widely used for the communication purpose in the computer networks and it works in the Internet layer of the OSI reference model. The IPv4 address is 32 bits long. The 32 bit is divided into four groups. Each group has the eight bits which forms as an octet. Each IP address has two parts called the network id and the host id. This IP address is used as a unique identification address for the hosts in the networks. Network ID also known as network address used to identify the network from the large internetwork. All the computers in the same network will have the same network ID. Host ID is also known as host address used to identify the host in the same network. There are five classes of IPv4 address. They are Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E. Class A, Class B and Class C are most commonly used, Class D is multicast and Class E is for the research and the development purpose. These classes of IP addresses are used in different location based on the network infrastructure.
Segments are encapsulated into packets when forwarded to Network Layer (Internet Layer on TCP/IP Model), the Network layer implements logical addressing to the packets. In the scenario of requesting for
The ‘protocol’ substring defines a network protocol to be used to access a resource. These strings are short names followed by three characters like ://.
Packet filtering is the basic purpose of the firewalls in the network. The key theme of the packet Filtering is that firewall shacks either in the host or in router and monitors the traffic and flow of the data. The monitoring of traffic in the network is performed with respect to the policies of the network security (Vadim Zaliva,2008).
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the primary network communication, language since the mid-1990s which is passed down as a communications protocol in a private network. The TCP/IP is a two-layered protocol. The Transmission Control Protocol is the higher layer which administers the collection of messages or files into smaller packets. These packets are transmitted over the Internet. The packets are then amassed and reassembled into the primary message after being received by the TCP layer. The Internet Protocol being the lower layer monitors the address part of each packet, and further gets to the right destination. The TCP/IP establishes an intermediary between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period.
The human race is completely reliant on technological innovations. A global village is what the world feels like nowadays. The Internet has revolutionized the aspect of globalization. The number of people signing up daily for the purposes of Internet is increasing day-by-day. The IT experts have noted this increase and hence, the Internet service is metamorphosing at a rate that nobody had anticipated earlier.
The internet, in its simplest form, is nothing more than two or more computers with the ability to connect to each other. Each computer or machine must, therefore, have its own unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses are constructed in the form of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is a number between 0 – 255 (Shuler, 2002).
Firewalls: A firewall is a security network that can be either hardware or software or a combination of both. A firewall protects your personal information and computer by acting as a barrier so that viruses or unauthorized internet users from accessing your information. In relation to the website performance, a firewall is used to protect the website and your computer from users that are not authorised to access it and to stop hacker from manipulating the website's code. It also will prevent your website from being infected with viruses or bugs which will make the website take longer to load.
