Summary

  • We will discuss how the internet works via a case study inspired by “what happens when you browse to the course site?”
  • Data on the internet is sent via packets using several different protocols
  • Wifi or physical layer, IP, TCP, HTTP
  • We can use tools like wireshark, traceroute, and tcpdump to inspect this traffic and understand how data is sent
