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.
