Internet: The Big Picture

Internet: "The Big Picture" "What are the major pieces of the Internet, and who are the major players in each segment?"

Top rated internet consultant, speaker and instructor, Russ Haynal in this special website talks about the internet, describing this wonderful not so new media and its major pieces, that is Russ Haynal describes to his students about what really makes up the internet.

The major parts of the internet that he mentions are; User PC, User Communication Equipment, Local Loop Carrier,ISP's POP, User Services, ISP Backbone, Online Content, and Origins Of Online Content.

I am not much of a computer genuis so all those names of the parts of the internet sounded like Greek to me until i started reading carefully the explanations, descriptions and the ways that each part is connected to the other, the names slowly began to make some sense. It is a whole lot to take in but basically i was a bit surprised at how each part was connected and how all these different parts make up the internet like for example Russ talks about the ISP POP which is the edge of the ISP's network. This is where wireless or dial ups connections to the internet from the user are accepted and authenticated. I also liked the way he portrayed the ISP Point of Presence a human being in the picture illustrated beside the explanation of this major part of the internet.

In conclusion this informative website about how the part of the internet and how it works opened up my minds in knowing that even wireless internet connections are not all that wireless but have connecting parts such as the ISP's and others. Way to go Mr Russ Haynal!
