IP address 

What’s IP address?

According to Tech-FAQ, (n.d) the IP address is “A unique address that different computers on a computer network use to identify and communicate with one another”.

The IP address has two versions IPv4 (internet protocol version 4) and IPv6 (internet protocol version 6).

In summary the IP address is a computer direction, and all computer has a different address, the IP address be formed from host (H) and red (R).

The IP Address have different range class, that depend on type of IP (public or private).

The range class of a private IP are:

  • Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
    • R.H.H.H
    • Example: 10.10.10.10
  • Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
    • R.R.H.H
    • Example: 172.66.43.12
  • Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
    • R.R.R.H
    • Example: 192.168.1.1

And the range class of public IP are:

  • Class A: 1.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.0
    • R.H.H.H
    • Example: 36.12.85.4
  • Class B:128.0.0.0 to 191.255.0.0
    • R.R.H.H
    • Example: 150.172.238.5
  • Class C:192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0
    • R.R.R.H
    • Example: 200.54.120.20

The networks never be changeable for opposite the hosts always will be changeable but not can exceed the range. There are also other classes, as D or E, but they are not most uses.

Domain Name System (DNS)

What’s DNS?

According to Geeks for Geeks, (2025)It is essentially the "phone book" of the internet, translating user-friendly domain names (like www.example.com) into numerical IP addresses (such as 192.0.2.1) that computers and network devices use to locate one another on the internet”.

Domain

In the internet’s world exist 2 definitions of domains there are: The domain name and the domain extension, where the domain extension complements the domain name if one of them isn't present the other one wouldn't work but, what're the domain names and the domain extensions?
The domain names are the directions of web sites that the web browser can consult for go to the specific webpage. Example www.wikipedia
The extensions are the finish letters after the point, are the forms in the that was to classify websites by type.  Examples of domain expansion are .com, .org, .net.

Domain extension

Uses

.org

For organizations

.com

Firewall

What’s a firewall?

According to CISCO the firewall is: 

A firewall is a network security device that separates a trusted internal network from an external network deemed untrustworthy, such as the internet. It regulates incoming and outgoing network traffic based on preset security rules. Firewalls are paramount in shielding networks from unauthorized access, harmful activities, and potential threats, and can exist as hardware, software, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or public or private (virtual) cloud

The firewall has difference types, some types are:

  • ·       Proxy firewall

Based on info of CISCO the proxy firewall is:

A proxy firewall is an early type of firewall device, serving as the gateway from one network to another for a specific application. Proxy servers can provide additional functionality, such as content caching and security, by preventing direct connections from outside the network. However, this also may impact throughput capabilities and the applications they can support.

Hosting

Html

Html are the acronyms of HyperText Markup Language, it's a programmer language used in the development of Web pages, and which serves as a reference standard for their coding and structuring, it was creed in 1991 written by Tim Berners-Lee (TBL)

How does html work?

According to the website Concepto (n.d) "The html language operates based on written markers (which appear in angular quotation marks: <html>), from which the appearance and internal order of a web page is encrypted, as well as the scripts or routines that operate within them.


Http

What’s the http?

Cited from the Encyclopedia Concept the http is:

Http (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the information transmission protocol of the World Wide Web, that is, the code that is established so that the computer The applicant and the person containing the requested information can "speak" the same language when transmitting information through the net.

Http has a variant; it's https or HyperText Transfer Procotol Secure, https is a version safe of the http, this version is based on the creation of an encrypted channel for the transmission of information.

What is a router?

According to CISCO (n.d), the router is:

A router receives and sends data on computer networks. Routers are sometimes confused with network hubs, modems, or network switches. However, routers can combine the functions of these components and connect with these components to improve Internet access or help create business networks.

Types of routers

  • Main router: The primary routers are typically used by service providers or cloud providers. They provide maximum bandwidth for connecting additional routers or switches.
  • Edge router: Is the network's outermost connection point to external networks, including the Internet.
  • Distribution Router: According to CISCO is "A distribution router or indoor router receives data from the edge router using a wired connection and sends it to end users, usually over Wi-Fi, although the router also typically includes physical connections (Ethernet) to connect additional users or routers."
  • Wireless Router: Combine the functions of edge routers and distribution routers. These routers are common in-home networks and for internet access.
  • Virtual router: According to CISCO is:Virtual routers are software programs that allow you to virtualize some functions of the router in the cloud to provide them as a service. These routers are ideal for large enterprises with complex network needs. They offer flexibility, simple scalability, and lower cost of entry. Another advantage of virtual routers is the reduced burden of managing local network hardware.

LAN (Local area network)

These are the netwoork used within a small geographical area, example the domestical wifi network and the small company network.

MAN (Metropolitan area network)

It's a network technology of computers that permit the interconnection of many devises and recourses in a big geographic zone, example city or university campus.

WAN (Wide area network)

According to REDES INFORMATICAS the WAN is "A type of network that allows devices to connect over a large geographical area, such as a city, a country, or even globally".

Website

A website is a collection of publicly accessible, interlinked web pages that share a single domain name. Together, all publicly accessible websites constitute the World Wide Web (WWW).

Streaming 

According to AVG the streaming is "Streaming means sending and receiving data in a continuous flow over a computer network, from a remote server to your device. Online streaming allows content playback to begin even while the rest of the data is still being sent to your device".

SSL AND TLS

URL

The Uniform Resource Locators is a direction that have a resource in internet; it helps to search and access of the content we want.
Examples:
  • https://www.lucushost.com
  • https://es.wikipedia.org
  • https://www.zara.com/es/es/search/home
  • https://www.samsung.com/es/shop-faq/samsung-account/what-is-a-samsung-account/

DHCP

DHCP are the acronym of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, according to geeksforgeeks the DHCP is:
DHCP helps enterprises to smoothly manage the allocation of IP addresses to the end-user clients’ devices such as desktops, laptops, cellphones, etc. is an application layer protocol that is used to provide:
Subnet Mask (Option 1 - e.g., 255.255.255.0)
Router Address (Option 3 - e.g., 192.168.1.1)
DNS Address (Option 6 - e.g., 8.8.8.8)
Vendor Class Identifier (Option 43 - e.g., 
'unifi' = 192.168.1.9 ##where unifi = controller)

The components of DHCP are:

  • DHCP server: It's a server that holds IP Addresses and the configuration's information.
  • DHCP client: It receives configuration information from the server.
  • DHCP Relay: it's a channel between DHCP Client and Server.
  • IP Adrees Pool: It's the pool or container of IP Addresses possessed by the DHCP Server.
  • And others.

Ethernet

Its traditional technology used for connecting devices in a LAN or local area network wired or a wide area network (WAN), enabling them to communicate with each other through a protocol.

ISP

WIFI

Wi-Fi is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to connect to a network without the need for cables. It uses radio waves to transmit data and is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is widely used in homes, offices, and public places.

    Shipping Protocol:

In the computer networks, a transport protocol is a mein part of the Transport in the OSI and TCP/IP models, responsible for managing the delivery of data of devices.

The two most common transport protocols are:

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Ensures reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications. 
UDP (User Datagram Protocol): Offers faster, connectionless communication without error correction. 

   Access Point:

Access Point (Wireless Access Point):

An Access Point (AP) is a specialized hardware device used in wireless networking that enables Wi-Fi-capable device. It serves as a bridge between wireless clients and the wired network infrastructure, transmitting and receiving data using radio frequency signals.
