The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a subset of the Internet and a way of accessing information over the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data
It functions as the Internet’s navigation system and allows users to view the Internet network through the use of websites.
Simply put, it’s 8 bits. Think of it as a string of 1s and 0s that represents a number from 0 to 255. For example “01100101″ is one byte of information, whereas “0″ or “1″ are bits of information.
A networking protocol initially designed to move multimedia data around with high reliability and speed. It uses small, fixed-size cells of data that can be more easily controlled and kept at specific service levels than TCP/IP. Some ISPs use ATM as the protocol for their backbones.
This method of transferring data does so without a specific timing mechanism between the two communicating parties. The party receiving data isn’t expecting more data at any set interval.
