Abstract :
The Internet is a world-wide packet-switched network that connects together well over 10 million computers in over 100 countries for the purpose of information sharing. This paper is a tutorial on Internet technology-how it works now and how it is changing as the network becomes more commercial. It covers the underlying design of the Internet, the `connectionless service model´, and the applications that run over the network: the World Wide Web and other popular systems that have made the network growth so explosive in recent years
