protocol - is a standard used to define a method of exchanging data over a computer network,
such as local area network, Internet, Intranet, etc.
packets - carry the data in the protocols that the Internet uses: Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Each packet contains part of the body of your message. A
typical packet contains perhaps 1,000 or 1,500 bytes.
hotspot - is a wireless LAN (local area network) node that provides Internet connection and
virtual private network (VPN) access from a given location.
Internet - s a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of
computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with
any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet .
WWW - The documents are formatted in a markup language called HTML (HyperText Markup
Language) that supports links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files.

Internet servers are part of the World Wide Web.
IP Address: static / dynamic - An IP address is a unique number given to your computer by your
internet service provider (ISP). It identifies your computer when it accesses the
internet. Dynamic IP addresses change - your computer will be allocated different ones at
different times. Static IP addresses stay the same and can't be moved between ISPs.
IPv6 and IPv4 -I Pv6 is the sixth revision to the Internet Protocol and the successor to IPv4 . It
functions similarly to IPv4 in that it provides the unique, numerical IP addresses necessary for
Internet-enabled devices to communicate. However, it does sport one major difference: it utilizes
128-bit addresses.
TCP/IP - TCP / IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is a set of
networking protocols that allows two or more computers to communicate.
HTML - Hypertext Markup Language, a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve
font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages.
HTTP - Hypertext Transfer (or Transport) Protocol, the data transfer protocol used on the World
Wide Web
IEEE - The IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading organization of computing
professionals. Founded in 1946, and the largest of the 39 societies of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE ),
