What is the Internet?

The Internet (Internet) is a collection of global information resources. There is a rough saying that INTERNET is a logical network formed by the interconnection of many small networks (subnets), and several computers (hosts) are connected in each subnet. For the purpose of exchanging information resources, Internet is based on some common protocols and is formed through many routers and the public Internet. It is a collection of information resources and resource sharing.

The Internet belongs to the wide area network.

Introduction to network types:

1. Local area network (LAN): generally limited to a small area, less than the range of 10km, usually connected by cable.

2. Metropolitan area Network (MAN): the scale is limited to the scope of a city, the area of 10~100km

3. Wide area Network (WAN): the network crosses national boundaries, state boundaries, and even the global scope.

Local area network and wide area network are hot spots of the network. The local area network is the basis of the other two types of networks, and the metropolitan area network generally joins the wide area network. The typical representative of the wide area network is the Internet.
