Lesson 7.8 Packets & Protocols

Description

In this lesson, students learn about the last piece of the puzzle for how the Internet works: Packets and Protocols. All information sent over the internet is broken down into small groups of bits called packets. The format for creating and reading packets is defined by open protocols so that all devices can read packets from all other devices.


Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Explain the packet process and how protocols (TCP/IP and HTTP) are vital to the exchange of information on the Internet
  • Explain the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
