i’m usually more inclined to watch something if it’s old since it seems that newer videos are unnecessarily bloated up because of modern standards or something
watched this few years ago - freshman year of college to kick off my studies (and now career) in the tech space (cloud/IT), and every time I learn more about how the internet works, I come back to this video to recall how it pieces together on a high-level.
It's mind boggling how he explained a complex network of computers with so much simplicity. I really wish internet was known for stuffs like this, not for fake news, political propaganda, hate trends and all the other toxic things but for learning and making things easy.
Yes, you're right. This video is aimed at introducing the concepts of servers, ISPs, clients, etc. You're correct that in any given network topology, a single device (or a group of devices) may fill several of these roles simultaneously.
Aaron does the internet travel under water using deep sea cables but does it also travel under ground on land or does it travel on electrical telephone wire? The deep sea under water caper or fiber optic cable have routers attached to them that guid the packet to the right IP and server?
herpy derpy Yes, a lot of things were missing, there's a reason why the Internet is a work of science, it's REALLY complex. However, this is the explanation you might consider giving to a kid that just want basic understanding until he/she is old enough to learn more.
I disagree, if you really had no idea of how the internet works (which seems to be the target audience of this video) this video would lead you to believe that there is a single connection that "is" the internet and that is grossly incorrect. The internet is a web (hence world wide web or www) of networks that are all inter-connected (internet). To say that the internet is a "wire buried underground" is tantamount to saying that all of the United States water comes from a single pipe. Not to mention that he completely failed to discuss the different protocol layers in the OSI model that really define how the internet works. The video is very misleading and actually leaves its viewers not only not understanding how the internet works but actually thinking it works in a way that it doesn't.
Still my favorite Internet explanation video. It’s always the seal of a Genius the ability to simplify a complex idea and make it look simple. A little over a decade late, but thank you for this video, Åaron Titus 👍
Very very well put. Probably one of the best explanation of the internet.. not to mention, very creatively done. I really enjoyed it. It's really funny but a lot of geeky IT people can't seem to understand the simple process of how helpful illustrations are when it comes to explaining anything.. even the most complex topic. They just throw a lot of complex terminologies at you and try to dummy down their explanation as much as they (think) they can and think that that is enough to get the point across to the people they are explaining it to. When all fails, they just blame it on you for being stupid when they are actually the dumb ones for not being able to break the explanation properly to a simple understandable level by just simply using simple and clear illustrations.. now that's not only smart but also creative. Very nice job with this video.
Or people who actually know some shit about how computer networks and Internet work. Like I counted at least 3 or 4 mistakes: 1. The Internet is NOT a bus topology (long single thick line). God have mercy on us if that was the case because we'd need forever to reach anything since our data would have to travel across millions of routers. 2. A server is NOT defined by whether or not it's connected to the Internet directly, just like a PC is NOT defined by being connected to the Internet indirectly. Server is defined by its OS version, like in case of Windows, Linux etc. (e.g. Windows Server 2016 or Ubuntu Server). Or by its role in the computer network (like a DHCP or DNS or web server). 3. aol.com is NOT an ISP. AOL is perhaps. aol.com is a DNS name (not even a web server name unless it's redirected to it). But I get it it was probably a simplification. 4. IT IS NOT THE CASE THAT EVERY ROUTER THAT FORWARDS A DATA PACKET ADDS (OR REMOVES) A LAYER THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED HERE! Each and every data packet sent by a PC or a server consists of seven layers (aka OSI model). Yes, layers are being removed and added again in order to access some information. Like routers will remove layers 1-3 (called decapsulation) in order to access layer 3 data which includes the target IP address, among other things. But they will then add back layers 3, 2 and 1 (in this order, it's called encapsulation). Generally speaking a data packet that doesn't consist of 7 layers is invalid (unless we're talking about some specific network protocols like ICMP but it's not a case). And they claim it would be a correct one. I get it, ok, this is simplified for sake of people who don't know a thing about computer networking or IT in general. But being simplified does not mean it can be simply incorrect and misleading. I'm sure the way the actual Internet actually works (a huge number of autonomous systems owned but different companies connected using BGP protocol) can be explained in a few minutes video and is definitely more interesting than this shit.
I'm in an upper division ECE 4000 level course on computer networks and this is by far the most accurate depiction of how the Internet works conceptually that I've seen. I really appreciate that you went to the effort with the "wrapping" of the layers analogy as thats basically what occurs at the packet/bit vector level.
I just finished a Network Communications class and this video does a great job summing up what the internet is! It could've went into more depth of TCP and UDP but I'm glad it didn't. Short, simple, and sweet.
Thank you Aaron so much for this clear concise explanation of the internet without talking down to a non- techie like me! This was so empowering! Terrific!
I wish you would make more videos like this. Sure, everyone knows how to surf the web but the underlying architecture and how stuff works isn't understood by many
Awesome job Aaron. I have never commented on a video. It was very informative, straight to the point, and used other examples to explain the content.Great stuff
I've been working with computers for 4 years but only recently did I delve deeper into the concepts. My knowledge of the internet has been near zero until watching this video. Thank you very much!
+Bryan P LOL, you're actually right. when I was a kid there was this old lady who lived down the street. We'd knock on her back door and say "Aunt Ruth can we have some candy?" and she always gave us twizzlers. I don't think Ruth was her real name
Thank you!! Your explanation is noticably clearer than any other of other creators I've seen so far. Why? Because you use visuals very purposefully. Just enough for what you need and not more.
+Shane Robinson YOU'RE describing the non human part of the Internet . because most internet people are quite civil . many times i've had arguments in comments when months later my opposition debater responds back to me to clarify the topic or give in , or to enlighten some more . If we can transmit in light speed , there's still a social code , a reason for being here . If we can't stay within social code , the internet would be a disaster . i'm quite proud of getting the opportunity of actually seeing it , and of the marvelous work of it's creators and technicians . remember I had to play with rabbit ears to get one more black and white channel , because we only had one , the CBC . Bravo fellow humans , let's go where nobody has gone before .
The wrapped candy analogy is quite wrong. The only router who is likely to alter the packets is the router between you and your boss, which "unwraps" the packets and replaces the addresses (he does Network address translation (NAT)). This router is in fact directly connected to the internet - nothing prevents you from running a server from your dsl connection. The reason why internet is represented by a cloud is that nothing prevents the packets to be sent by other meanings than wires (satellite, mobile communication...). The RFC 1149 even specifies "IP over Avian Carriers" (IPoAC) to send Internet protocol messages over homing pigeons.
Actually, from what I know, each time a packet arrived on a router, it will alter the packet (especially for its MAC Address, this will be changed to the next router's MAC Address). CMIIW, I'm still learning
I followed Cisco's IT Essentials course, and nothing made me understand packets and such in a better way then this video has. It's been a couple months since I took the course, and I'm currently just revisiting the topics to keep sharp but this is amazing. I specifically remember never understanding how packets worked in specific, and I think I learnt more from this video.
Out of all the educational videos I've watched on YT, this was by far one of, if not the best presentations I've seen, especially in it's simplicity of dialogue and images. Thank you, and I'm sorry I didn't come across your channel earlier.
I'm learning networking and this video clarified so many concepts within a short a period of time. It's better than most of the newer videos out there. Thank you!
wish someone sat me down and explained this the internet like this to me while I was in engineering. Learning on youtube is insanely better than learning in school. Thank you for this dowg.
World Church ISPs still pay other ISPs in most cases (look up peering agreements). The wire analogy really breaks down really quickly. In reality it's a bunch of routers reading the IP address and deciding whether to send the packet to a device (computer or router) on the network segment it manages or to a higher layer router. Eventually (after only a few hops) the highest layer router gets it and uses routing tables (generated via BGP) to send it to another ISP. There is no magical internet, it's just a bunch of networks running the Internet Protocol which decided to peer (connect) with one another out of convenience. Who runs the individual networks? Companies, ISPs, Universities, Governments, and other institutions large enough to make a peering agreement worthwhile.
The definition of sever here is well off, it's not "a special computer connected directly to the Internet" it's any internet connected machine running web server software. My MacBook could be a server if I wanted it to. The idea of being "directly connected" or "indirected connected" introduces a serious misunderstanding also, as well as the already spotted IP address errors. Otherwise good stuff.
So essentially, the internet is simply a "transportation" line and not a big box. So information I seek online is actually retrieved from a specific server with that information? Wow, cloud computing is indeed a confusing term
Before I started taking classes in cybersecurity my idea of the internet was a "big box" as well. But in reality you're just accessing a company or organization's physical servers that are held in a building.
Thanks for the video - one question: Why can't clients connect directly to the internet? Why do they need the ISP? Why can't they just tie into the wire that is the internet. Also, many people use their home computers as a server for their own websites and whatnot, so in this case, is the client directly hooked up to the internet (acting like a server) and not using an ISP?
The ISP basically someone who bought a range of public IPs and industry grade equipment and absorb the cost of running the last miles of cable and customer facing issue resolution. They in turn buy from wholesalers who sell high capacity connections between ISPs. Some big ISPs are also wholesalers. ISPs also negotiate connections to other ISPs. If you don't connect to any ISP that would be called a private network. startyourownisp.com/
