Internet

The Internet can be defined as a worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.

There are some subnetworks, interconnecting the research networks:

• GEANT (the main European multi-gigabit computer network for research and education purposes)
• GLORIAD (sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a consortium of science organizations and Ministries in Russia, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Korea, the Canadian CANA to interconnect RIE network, the national research network in The Netherlands SURFnet and having some telecommunications services donated by Tyco Telecommunications)
• The Internet2 Network or UCAID (University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development) – a non-profit consortium which develops and deploys advanced network applications and technologies, for education and high-speed data transfer purposes.
• JANET (a private British government-funded computer network dedicated to education and research).
