Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number
system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the
numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the
decimal number 15 is represented as F in the hexadecimal
numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful
because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two
consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to
read hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers.
This is a private network, inside an organization or
company that uses the same software you will find on the
public Internet. The only difference is that an Intranet is
used for internal usage only.
The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that
are logically connected based on the Internet Protocol
(IP). The Internet provides different ways to access private
and public information worldwide.
Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet
address that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet
addresses are IP addresses
Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout
of the basic unit of information on the Internet (the
packet) and also details the numerical addressing format
used to route the information. Your Internet service
provider controls the IP address of any device it connects
to the Internet. The IP addresses in your network must
conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs, most
people will allow the DHCP function of a router or
gateway to assign the IP addresses on internal networks.
