Review Internet and the web before starting →Ideas to recall
- The Internet is a global physical and logical network of networks; the World Wide Web is an application-layer hypermedia system built upon it.
- The Domain Name System translates human-readable hostnames into numeric IP addresses via a hierarchical query chain.
- TCP guarantees reliable packet delivery using a three-way handshake, while IP handles logical addressing and routing.
- HTTPS provides channel encryption and identity verification, but does not guarantee the credibility or safety of site content.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
