When you send or receive data through a network you need to have both an IP and a

MAC address.

Network Stack - a set of hardware or software that provides the infrastructure for
a computer.

TCP - Transmission Control Protocal - Delivers information from one network to


another.
IP - Internet Protocal - Delivers packets to the right computers.

ICANN - Internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers

IPV6 - Helps keep up with all new tech

NAT - Helps a company use one IP address

ARPANET: The earliest version of the Internet that we see today, created by the US
government project DARPA in the 1960s

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Regulates the information we show
to children under the age of 13

DARPA: A US government project in the 1960s that went on to create the earliest
version of the Internet that we see today

Domain name: A website name; the part of the URL following www.

Domain Name System (DNS): A global and highly distributed network service that
resolves strings of letters, such as a website name, into an IP address

Ethernet cable: It lets you physically connect to the network through a cable

Fiber optic cable: Fiber optic cables contain individual optical fibers which are
tiny tubes made of glass about the width of a human hair. Unlike copper, which uses
electrical voltages, fiber cables use pulses of light to represent the ones and
zeros of the underlying data

Globalization: The movement that lets governments, businesses, and organizations


communicate and integrate together on an international scale

Hubs: Devices that serve as a central location through which data travels through

Internet: A worldwide system of interconnected networks

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN): Where website names

the internet in a smarter fashion such as smart thermostats that turn off the air
conditioner when you leave and turn it on when you come back

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4): An address that consists of 32 bits separated


into four groups

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6): An address that consist of a 128 bits, four
times the amount that IPv4 uses
Internet service provider (ISP): A company that provides a consumer an internet
connection

IP address: The most common protocol used in the network layer, used to helps us
route information

MAC address: A globally unique identifier attached to an individual network


interface. It's a 48-bit number normally represented by six groupings of two
hexadecimal numbers

Network: The interconnection of computers

Network Address Translation (NAT): A mitigation tool that lets organizations use
one public IP address and many private IP addresses within the network

Networking: Managing, building and designing networks

Networking protocols: A set of rules for how we transfer data in a network

Network stack: A set of hardware or software that provides the infrastructure for a
computer

Router: A device that knows how to forward data between independent networks

Server logs: Text files that contains recorded information about activities
performed on a specific web server in a defined period of time

Servers: Devices that provide data to other devices that request that data, also
known as a client

Switches: Devices that help our data travel

Transfer Control Protocol (TCP): A protocol that handles reliable delivery of


information from one network to another

Uniform Resource Locator (URL): A web address similar to a home address

WannaCry Attack: A cyber attack that started in Europe and infected hundreds of
thousands of computers across the world

Wireless networking (Wi-Fi): Networks you connect to through radios and antennas
