The internet (written with the lowercase initials as a common name) is a type of computer network that is distinguished by connecting multiple local and / or geographic networks using TCP / IP. The exemplary example of this kind of computer network is the Internet, the world's homonymous network of public access computers. Another example of internet is SIPRNet. Etimologiamodifica wikitesto
The term "internet" has been borrowed from English, where it is born as an acronym for "interconnected networks". The term is used for the first time in 1975, in RFC 675 (the document defining TCP protocol), to indicate the interconnection between distinct computer networks (initially ARPAnet and NSFnet). In those years they lived together with different communication standards for computer networks and their interconnection was considered an important goal. After consolidating the IP position (defined in RFC 791) as a generic internal communication protocol to a network, the meaning of the term "internet" is changed to indicate the TCP / IP-based interconnection network and that is what keeps it still.
