Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Assalamu’alaikum..hye there..how are you today?.. How is life?..teehee..

Now, I want to share with you guys about the INTERNET, that I learned in my fifth class.

Do you know what is the meaning of internet? Well, the internet is a global network connecting millions of computers using a common set of TCP/IP.  

Internet started with only four interconnected computers in 1969 and was known as ARPANET. The Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) submitted the proposal for the project on June 3, 1968 which was approved a few weeks later. This proposal entitled “Resource Sharing Computer Networks” would allow ARPA not only further sharing of their data but would allow them to further their research in a wide variety of military and scientific fields. After being tested in four locations, the network spread and the new protocols created for its use evolved into today’s World Wide Network.

Then, we learn about internet infrastructure. The hierarchy of networks are:

• ·         From a single computer to LAN
• ·         From LAN to ISP
• ·         ISP to WWW

In order to connect yourself to the internet, you just need a computer, web browser and internet access. However, the policy and procedures involves to bring you on the internet is quite complicated.

Then, we learned about Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISP or also called as IAP(Internet Access Provider) is a company that provides access to the internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider gives you a software package, username, password and access phone number. ISPs themselves are connected one another through Network Access Points (NAPs). In Malaysia, the most popular ISP is TMNet.

Guys, for your information,,the internet can be access via dial-up, landline, t-lines, satellite, cell phones and etc.

Then, we learned about Internet Protocol or IP. According to what Mr. Razak said in our class, every machine has their own IP address. IP is a language that computers use to connect with each other. An IP address serves two principal functions:

 host or network interface identification and location addressing

Do you know what your computer’s IP is? The IP for my desktop that I used in Mr. Razak’s class is 161.139.220.01..161 refers to UTM, 139 refers to the Faculty of Education and the rest refers to the desktop…it is interesting, isn’t it?..haha..:D

See you in the next post..bye..assalam..>.<
