Abstract
Since the invention of telephony, networks have played an important part in our interactions. These days many computer networks form the thing we know as “the Internet” - a network of networks. Many components help to move bits and bytes, frames and packets around: cables, fibers, routers, switches, etc. This talk will describe the history and basics of the Internet, what’s fascinating about it and what actually happens down the wire.
Speaker Bio
