What is the Internet?
To be used by different types of machines yet be understood by all of
them, the software must follow a set of rules, or protocol.
The Internet, with a capital "I", is the network of networks which either
use the TCP/IP protocol or can interact with TCP/IP networks via gateways
(the interpreters).
The Internet presents these networks as one, seamless network for its
users.
