An interconnected network is basically an advanced system to share information from any node of the source to any node desiring to send the information. Therefore, this tool is important to ensure successful knowledge-sharing, and all these tasks are performed in as low latency as possible. Â
Internet Full FormÂ
The full form of the internet is an interconnected network. The interconnected network is basically a combination of various computer nodes along with a mobile, computer, and various servers that are engaged together to complete a successful data-transmission. In recent times, it is considered a strong feature of technology that is influencing every stage of human-practice. Additionally, it is also defined as a global-system of communication that connects different devices or networks. The Internet works in a parallel-machine mechanism to make contact between different networks. Through internet facilities, the network generates various links or switches. Those links or switches play a key role to share information from one node to another.Â
This feature has the capability to enhance the quality of lifestyle of the people and help them to access all the things very easily and efficiently as well. Therefore, knowledge-sharing or development of the people enhances with the successful practice of the internet. Moreover, education, business, and innovation have become easier than previously due to the facility of the internet. Additionally, this tool has become so popular recently and is considered an effective tool for communication for more than 3 million users.Â
Types of Internet   Â
The Internet is basically differentiated into two types according to their sources and connection. Two types of internet are direct networks and indirect networks. In the case of a direct network, there is a point-to-point network available in different nodes. This type of network is static and due to these connections this is fixed. On the other hand, in the case of indirect networks, there is no fixed connection between the nodes. The connection is changed dynamically according to the demand of the application. This kind of network is further divided into three categories such as crossbar switches, bus networks, and multistage networks.Â
In daily practices, the kind of network or internet service is selected according to the requirement of internet speed. In recent times, there are many ways available to connect the devices like laptops, mobiles, gaming consoles, and many more. Some of the types of internet connections are mentioned in the following:
- Mobile internetÂ
- Wi-Fi hotspots facilityÂ
- Dial-upÂ
- Digital subscriber line (DSL)
- Broadband
- Cable
- Satellite
All the above-mentioned connections are broadly used in different sectors to fulfill the requirements of the internet. However, mobile internet, Wi-Fi hotspot, and broadband are the common sources of the internet in recent practices.   Â
Structure of Interconnection Networks   Â
Interconnection of networks occurs by switching elements between different nodes and this type of connection between networks allows the transmission of data between different sources with the help of parallel mechanisms. Interconnection between networks is basically the composition of three different components. All three components are discussed in the following.Â
LinksÂ
It is basically a cable made from optical fibers or electric wires to transmit data analog signals from one end to another. All the links are connected with switches or network interfaces. Links play an influencing role to control the digital-information stream efficiently.  Â
SwitchesÂ
These are basically the combination or set of internal and external ports and it is useful to make contact between different crossbars. Switches have a key role in input-output connection by controlling the different logic and internal buffering. In switches, the number of input ports and the number of output ports is always equal.Â
Network interfacesÂ
This is a useful tool to develop the routing and information-control facility. This feature has the capability of input-output buffering like a switch. However, it is also important to check errors inflow and ensure effective flow without any error. Therefore, the cost of network interfaces is dependent upon port number, storage capacity, and complexity of the process.Â
Conclusion Â
It can be concluded that an interconnected network or internet is the key technical concept that influences daily-life dramatically. In the modern world, we all are familiar with the importance and uses of the Internet because we all are using the Internet in our studies or work.
