1.HowdoestheInternetWork?

EventhoughtheInternetisstillayoungtechnology,it'shardtoimaginelifewithoutitnow.Everyyear,engineerscreatemoredevicestointegratewiththeInternet.Thisnetworkofnetworkscrisscrossestheglobeandevenextendsintospace.Butwhatmakesitwork?(SeeFigure2.1)InternetTextAFigure2.1Internetarchitecture

TounderstandtheInternet,ithelpstolookatitasasystemwithtwomaincomponents.Thefirstofthosecomponentsishardware.Thatincludeseverythingfromthecablesthatcarryterabitsofinformationeverysecondtothecomputersittinginfrontofyou.

OthertypesofhardwarethatsupporttheInternetincluderouters,servers,cellphonetowers,satellites,radios,smartphonesandotherdevices.Allthesedevicestogethercreatethenetworkofnetworks.TheInternetisamalleablesystem—itchangesinlittlewaysaselementsjoinandleavenetworksaroundtheworld.SomeofthoseelementsmaystayfairlystaticandmakeupthebackboneoftheInternet.Othersaremoreperipheral.

Theseelementsareconnections.Someareendpoints—thecomputer,smartphoneorotherdeviceyou'reusingtoreadthismaycountasone.Wecallthoseendpointsclients.MachinesthatstoretheinformationweseekontheInternetareservers.Otherelementsarenodeswhichserveasaconnectingpointalongarouteoftraffic.Andthentherearethetransmissionlineswhichcanbephysical,asinthecaseofcablesandfiberoptics.

Allofthishardwarewouldn'tcreateanetworkwithoutthesecondcomponentoftheInternet:theprotocols.Protocolsaresetsofrulesthatmachinesfollowtocompletetasks.WithoutacommonsetofprotocolsthatallmachinesconnectedtotheInternetmustfollow,communicationbetweendevicescouldn'thappen.Thevariousmachineswouldbeunabletounderstandoneanotherorevensendinformationinameaningfulway.Theprotocolsprovideboththemethodandacommonlanguageformachinestousetotransmitdata.

You'veprobablyheardofIPaddresses.TheseaddressesfollowtheInternetprotocol.EachdeviceconnectedtotheInternethasanIPaddress.Thisishowonemachinecanfindanotherthroughthemassivenetwork.

TheversionofIPmostofususetodayisIPv4,whichisbasedona32-bitaddresssystem.There'sonebigproblemwiththissystem:We'rerunningoutofaddresses.That'swhytheInternetEngineeringTaskForce(IETF)decidedbackin1991thatitwasnecessarytodevelopanewversionofIPtocreateenoughaddressestomeetdemand.TheresultwasIPv6,a128-bitaddresssystem.ThathasenoughaddressestoaccommodatetherisingdemandforInternetaccessfortheforeseeablefuture.

1.因特網(wǎng)是如何工作的？

即使因特網(wǎng)仍然是年輕的技術(shù)，也難以想象現(xiàn)在沒有因特網(wǎng)的生活景象。每年，工程師都會設(shè)計更多與因特網(wǎng)結(jié)合的設(shè)備。這個網(wǎng)中之網(wǎng)已經(jīng)跨越了地球甚至擴展到太空中。但是是什么使它工作的呢？網(wǎng)絡(luò)的結(jié)構(gòu)圖如圖2.1所示。

要理解因特網(wǎng)，首先應(yīng)把它看做是有兩個主要部分的系統(tǒng)。第一部分是硬件，包括從每秒可以攜帶兆兆位字節(jié)的電纜到你面前的計算機。因特網(wǎng)其他支持因特網(wǎng)的硬件包括路由器、服務(wù)器、蜂窩電話塔、衛(wèi)星、無線電、智能電話和其他設(shè)備。所有這些設(shè)備共同建立了這個網(wǎng)中之網(wǎng)。因特網(wǎng)是一個可延展性的系統(tǒng)—部件的增加和減少對其影響不大。這些部件中的一些保持不變，是構(gòu)成因特網(wǎng)的骨干。除此之外，還有其他的一些外圍部件。

這些外圍部件是可連接的。一些是終點—計算機、
