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.

Intranet

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.

Internet

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.

Internet address

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

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

ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that

maintains a network that is linked to the Internet by
