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.
To participate in Internet communications and on Internet
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.
IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across
the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address. When
you "call" that number, using any connection methods, you get
connected to the computer that "owns" that IP address.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that maintains a
network that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated
communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated
communication lines to companies or individuals who can't
afford the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
Java is a programming language that is specially designed for
writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your
computer through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is
an object-oriented multi-thread programming best for creating
applets and applications for the Internet, Intranet and other
complex, distributed network.
