How the internet works

The first stage is application

There are several protocols in the application stage

• WWW

• SMS

• IRC

• EMAIL

• VOIP

This stage turns your request into binary

The next stage is transport

This stage breaks your binary into packets

• TCP(Slower but includes all packets and makes sure it isnt missing anything)

• UDP(Faster and includes mistakes, used for streaming, phone calls, etc)

The next stage is the Internet

This is what transfers the packets to the Link/Network

Of course the last one is the Link/Network page which takes your binary and turns it into physical data
