Keywords

💡Internet

The Internet is a global network that connects various types of computers and devices. It allows for the exchange of information and communication across the world. In the video, it is highlighted as a network with a rapidly growing number of connected devices and data transfer rates, especially since the COVID-19 crisis, where digital leisure activities like video streaming and video games have significantly contributed to Internet traffic.

💡Network Protocols

Network protocols are a set of rules that dictate how data is transmitted over the Internet. The video specifically mentions TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol). TCP is responsible for the reliable transmission of data, ensuring its correct delivery and error checking, while IP is tasked with routing data packets from the source to the destination. These protocols are fundamental to the operation of the Internet and enable communication between different devices.

💡IP Address

An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. The video explains that while IP addresses are essential for identifying and locating devices on the Internet, they are difficult to remember. This has led to the creation of symbolic addresses, which are easier for humans to use and remember.

💡Symbolic Address

A symbolic address, also known as a domain name, is an easy-to-remember label used to identify a unique IP address on the Internet. The video describes how users can access resources on the Internet by using these symbolic addresses, which are then translated into IP addresses by a DNS (Domain Name System) server, acting as a directory for the Internet.

💡DNS Server

A DNS server is a network entity that translates human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the Internet. The video illustrates the role of DNS servers as a crucial component in navigating the Internet by resolving domain names into the corresponding IP addresses, enabling users to access the desired resources.
