In class today we completed a fun yet informative Internet Infrastructure Scavenger Hunt. I had no idea Tim Berners-Lee invent the World Wide Web and wrote the first web client and web server. It is also interesting he formed World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C helps develop Web standards which allows more stable web for end users to enjoy.
I also enjoyed the video about the Warriors of the Net. The video gave me insight on how the Internet works. I think, although cheesy at times, the video explained very well how the data request are processed. From the data request from the end user through the LAN to the firewall to the Internet router; the packet is now in the World Wide Web (good luck!). The packet is then sent through the destination and goes though a port based on the type of packet. 80 for http and 23 for e-mail etc. The packet goes through the reverse order until it receives the data it request. Once it has the data the packet is sent back to the end user. Simplicity at its best!
