Over The Internet It Is Sent Across Several Hierarchies of Networks, Using Different Technologies From Many Different Providers and Operated by Different Organisations

The document discusses how information is transmitted over the internet across multiple private networks owned by different organizations. For effective transmission, these private networks must conform to common internet standards when connecting, even though each network can operate internally as its owner chooses. Without adherence to shared standards, data would be unable to pass between the various interconnected networks that collectively form the internet.

over the internet it is sent across several hierarchies of

networks, using different technologies from many different


providers and operated by different organisations.
These networks must use a standard form of communication so
information from one network can be passed across to another
network.
To some extent, the way any one of these separate networks
works internally is nobodys business but the owner and users of
that network. However, where a network joins to other networks,
where it becomes part of the internet, it has to conform to the
standards of the internet.
The internet is not owned by a single organisation, so there is no
one authority that dictates how it works. Yet all the different people
and organisations with their own networks that together make up
the internet have to work to common standards, or data would be
unable to move between the different networks.
In the next step youll find out about the TCP/IP protocols.
