"For the first time in history people and machinery are working together, realizing a dream. A uniting force that knows no geographical boundaries. Without regard to race, creed or color. A new era where communication truly brings people together."
-Tomas Stephanson, Monte Reid
The movie "Warriors of the Net" is an example of an educational tool that guide us in understanding how the Internet works. Though I already know how to connect myself in the different websites it is amazing to know how the internet works especially in processing my personal activities in its respective websites.
To give you an overview about this film, here are some of the the characters who plays an important role in this film.
Transmission Control Protocol
TCP is a transport layer protocol used by applications that require guaranteed delivery. It is a sliding window protocol that provides handling for both timeouts and retransmissions.
User Datagram Protocol
UDP network traffic is organized in the form of datagrams. A datagram comprises one message unit. The first eight (8) bytes of a datagram contain header information and the remaining bytes contain message data.
Ping of Death
A flaw in the implementation of networking in some operating systems became well-known and popularized by hackers as a way to crash computers remotely over the Internet.
Router
A hardware device designed to take incoming packets, analyzing the packets and then directing them to the appropriate locations, moving the packets to another network, converting the packets to be moved across a different network interface, dropping the packets, or performing any other number of other actions.
I hope that you've also learned something on how internet works through this very brief reaction and overview.
