Intranet
This is a private network, inside an organization or company that
uses the same software you will find on the public Internet. The
only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.
Internet
The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are
logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The
Internet provides different ways to access private and public
information worldwide.
Internet address
To participate in Internet communications and on Internet
Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet address
that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP
addresses
IP
Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the
basic unit of information on the Internet (the
packet
) and also
details the numerical addressing format used to route the
information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address
of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your
network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs,
most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to
assign the IP addresses on internal networks.
IP address
IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender
or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the
Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address. When you
“call” that number, using any connection methods, you get
connected to the computer that “owns” that IP address.
ISP
ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that maintains a
network that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated
communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated
communication lines to companies or individuals who can’t afford
the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
J
JAVA
Java is a programming language that is specially designed for
writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer
through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-
oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and
applications for the Internet, Intranet and other complex,
distributed network.
L
LAN
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively
small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined to
a single building or group of buildings.
M
MJPEG
MJPEG (Motion JPEG) composes a moving image by storing
each frame of a moving picture sequence in JPEG compression,
and then decompressing and displaying each frame at rapid
speed to show the moving picture.
MPEG4
MPEG4 is designed to enable transmission and reception of high-
quality audio and video over the Internet and next-generation
