How Does the Internet Work ?

www.datacenterscanada.com - SIMPLE explanation of how the internet really works. Understand networks, inter-networks, data packets, peering and internet exchanges.

[@IndigoMacaw]

this isn't a video about how the internet works, it's a video of what the internet is.

[@79blackbelt]

Sounds like R2-D2 in the background.

[@CodeMarbles]

"no single organization controls it" AYY THIS LADY GOT JOKES

[@mongodragon]

Mabel Gleeful too much salt.

[@samliveh8296]

+Marbels hhhhh

[@przemek4101]

If it's controlled by single organization what country is it from and why on the internet exists illegal content?

[@ShaunWhiteismyGinger]

I watched this high and was totally convinced the concept of the internet was from aliens

[@blacksaint99090]

i am in a web design class where we are answering how the internet works and what it is. this vidoe really helped, thank you

[@rayli1337]

this is the video we had to watch for media class :( :(

[@erictkach4792]

anyone else notice the R2-D2 sounds

[@Tibaes93]

I thought I was going crazy for a second

[@felipecapo204]

Internet is the only anarchy that has ever worked

[@muhammadpanduwidodo7030]

Great animation & design. Truly visualizing on how the internet works. Thanks for sharing here

[@MentalEdge]

best internet description so far, and for yo who are wondering how the devices connect, imagine if everyone in the world had blutooth on, there would almost always be someone to connect to, that is what the entire worlds computers are doing. And to get information you simply would connect from phone to phone until you find one with the info you need.

[@TactileCoder]

This video doesn't consider the *physical* layer that makes up the internet. Miles of copper wires and undersea cables are responsible for making this physical connection. If you were to cut major undersea cables that connect the U.S. with Europe, for example, the capacity of the North American network to Europe (and vice versa) gets cut by a large amount, enough to overflow remaining network pathways. Eventually if you cut enough cables you can pretty much shutdown internet access for entire regions. Also, inland ISPs depend on a series of backbone networks that serve as large hubs/conduits to other connected networks. Cut those out and you also begin disturbing traffic for entire regions. The internet is anything but decentralized.

[@joaov777]

Pretty good and comprehensive explanation. Thanks. :)

[@DontFuckWitDreDay]

Thank you Datacenterscanada!! Great video

[@Crisperdad]

Great video, it answers the question really well!

[@FDMCDigital]

Ecellent video fo those who need to understand in layman's terms

[@khushistalent3187]

[@tastelesstouch]

[@TheTablePaper]

This is an unnecessarily abstract way of explaining the internet.

[@danxiie]

thanks!

[@BattousaiHBr]

just to make it clear. using the internet itself is absolutely free. what is not free is first getting access to it, as described below.

[@hellerase]

if I didnt have my ISP , would it be possible to connect to the internet and if yes how ?

[@naiema4566]

thanks

[@ayashmaxx]

Nice..

[@nihalankam6106]

if an Internet protocol needs to be added then the provider a should be connected to the provider b at the Internet exchange. so, they should be connected to every provider present in the Internet exchange...................?

[@amberbarboza4523]

I want to learn more...

[@tizazuhabte9625]

it is interesting!

[@keerthanakasturi3670]

[@Bxrben_Dr1p]

If the internet is a network of networks that share each other then what is a outernet?

[@LextRocket]

what is the r2d2 noises for?

[@roli252520]

[@MrKobeBryant818]

[@mahela1993]

I hear R2-D2 in the background.

[@yadavjoshi4091]

nice

[@DerekDeMuth]

Every second you are using a computer you should just be like: "OH, OH my GOD, THIS IS AMAZING, I CAN"T BELIEVE IT, AHHHHHH!

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

Internet means interconnected networks. In other words, networks connected to other networks but with ISP's.

[@prof.krishandeheragoda253]

It's worth every one to know how Internet connects you with others. It is an amazing continues process beyond our imaginations. It is intelligence that take the US to cosmic heights is the future. Bon Voyage Internet.

[@peterfaretra]

where

[@SacredDaturana]

Wait, so if more and more data is flowing through 'internet exchange points', doesn't that make it less decentralized? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

[@unofficialsports]

like how it says no one company controls it, and thats why it works so well

[@CreativeGuyKyle]

This just shows that humans are more advanced than any other species! No other species could do something this complex!

[@crazedgamer032]

the internet works based upon the connection between computers. your computer sends requests for data from google or facebook servers and the servers of facebook and google sed back the data packets to your computer allowing your browswer to display their website and use it. much like making phone calls to your freinds.

[@shivmodi7976]

It's good......

[@JKennedying]

you know in that old disney movie Up Up and Away and those people are distributing a mind control software to schools or s/t I feel like I just watched a video from that software

[@InitialSHE]

Wow, the Internet is really a beautiful thing.

[@shaunsg87]

Do appricate the video...the video is lot better for beginners...

[@vistigioful]

I am very greatful for the internet.

[@mjcato1]

hook the 2 together and now to have an inter- network thats awesome

[@n310ea]

Can your ISP censor your Internet activity, like not let you visits certain websites?

[@rahulsonawane3290]

i have question what is(internet) and why it cost (it is a thing) we really don't know but it is a (thing) where is internet came from is there any mine like coal,metal or we make internet like electricity it is a thing we know like pc , electricity or someting have mass and how mobile network provider internet cost us money and they need to buy internet in GB,TB or bites

[@roli252520]

After watching this vid, I'm confident I can fully remember what the narrator just told me. yeah right she was beginning to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher.

[@_Nik1]

Well that make sence to me

[@ThatNativeViking]

Them computers be sounding like R2D2.

[@SuburbanGoons]

i get it now

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

Who takes control of all devices such as routers, web servers, email servers, ftp servers on the Internet? Who configures them and keep them alive?

[@AdmiralBrent]

hahaha keep this stuff for sober times and watch cheech and chong in the meantine

[@WindsurfingFilms]

I won the internet today, how do I claim?

[@sashypooh409]

half way into the video... still not explaining how it actually works tho...

[@FredClark]

Now, tell me how would the internet traffic would go from node to another node if there is no exchange of money?

[@imbkalldayerrday]

well would you look at that

[@chrisb8698]

so basically... It's like a series of tubes?

[@Caprican28]

Is this what the CCNA is all about? I want a career that involves working with the internet and I was told to get my CCNA.

[@mefrlzrox]

"The internet is free, decentralized". Some NSA guy laughs about that.

[@Ephisus]

If you ran data pipes all over the country, you would charge people to plug into them, too.

[@joeh690]

This was a little confusing to understand. Maybe it's just me by Canada versus u.s. how's it different explanation

[@maxfark108]

1:07 interconnected network - internet

[@dedicategrinder88]

15.10.23 CS revision!

[@cowskater5]
