\subsection{How the Internet Works}
The Internet transmits data from one computer (called a \concept{host}) to another. The various networks that are linked to form the Internet pass data around in chunks called \concept{packets}, each of which carries the addresses of its sender and its receiver.
\begin{definition}{Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)}
The widely used transport-layer protocol that most Internet applications use with IP.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}{Backbone}
One of the Internet's high-speed, long-distance communications links.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}{Uniform Resource Locator (URL)}
An assigned address on the Internet for each computer. Used to identify the computer to other hosts.
\begin{example}
Given the URL: \texttt{http://www.cengage.co.uk}
\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{http://}] The access method to use. In this case, \concept{Hypertext Transport Protocol}. The primary method for interacting with the Internet.
\item[\texttt{www}] The files associated with the website reside on the \concept{World Wide Web server}.
\item[\texttt{cengage.co.uk}] The domain name that identifies the Internet host site.
\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{cengage}] The name of the website (host network, or host provider).
\item[\texttt{co.uk}] The \concept{top-level domain (TLD)}.
\end{description}
\end{description}
\end{example}
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}{Internet Service Provider (ISP)}
