What You Will Find
on the Internet
• Information
– Text, video, audio, graphics
– Databases, technical services, software
• People
– Electronic mail
– Newsgroups
How Does the Internet Work?
• Packet-Switching Technology
• Connecting Independent Networks
• TCP/IP
Packet-Switching Technology
• Data sent in small standard sized
chunks called “packets”
• Packets have headers with addresses
of sending and receiving computers
• Users take turns sending packets
• Packets reassembled by the receiver
Packet Switching
Connecting Independent
Networks
• Router: fundamental building block of the
Internet
– Has a processor, memory, and network
interface
– Has no software
– Connects LANs to backbone WANs
– Forwards packets from one network to another
– Determines best routes for packets to travel
TCP/IP
• Transmission Control Protocol
– Breaks information into data packets
– Reassembles packets when received
– Checks for lost packets
• Internet Protocol
– Each computer given a unique IP address
– User name and IP address separated by @
• [email protected]
Routers Enable Different
Paths between Networks
Technologies Enabling
Internet Communication
• ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
– International standard for digital data communications
– Uses existing twisted pair cable
• T1 Service
– Leased lines from long-distance carriers
• ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
– Method of transmitting voice, video, and data over high
speed LANs
Services on the Internet
• E-Mail
– BBC News | DOT LIFE | H@ppy

Locator)

eBusiness: Electronic Business
• Dell Computers lets customers configure
their own PCs online and track assembly and
shipping status.
• Trucking companies will tap directly into
ordering system for earlier visibility on
shipping schedules.
• Retailers & manufacturers will monitor
inventory databases instead of placing orders
through sales.
eBusiness
• Pfizer, Inc. sends electronic version of drug
applications to FDA: approval timetable ~ one
year  6 months.
• Intel, Inc.: 200 sales clerks from order entry
to data analysis & customer relations.
• Cisco Systems: 75% sales are online; 45%
of the orders never touch an employee's
hands.
• Ford: international collaboration on the Web

Information Goods
• Costly to produce but cheap to reproduce.
• They do not need to be inventoried.
• Once the first copy has been produced, most
costs are “sunk” and cannot be recovered.
• Multiple copies can be produced at roughly
the constant per unit cost.
• There are no capacity limits for additional
“copies.”
