Understanding the Process of Routing and the Role of IP Addresses

🌐 The Internet is about sending digital information from one point to another.

💻 Devices on the Internet have unique IP addresses to find each other.

🔢 Switching from IPv4 to IPv6 for more unique addresses.

🌐 DNS system maps domains to IP addresses for easier browsing.

🌐 Routing is the process of sending data between two computers on the internet through routers.

🔀 Routers determine the route that data takes, allowing computers to communicate without individual connections.

🖥️ By connecting computers to routers, the internet can handle the communication between millions or billions of devices.

Routing involves sending messages through a network of routers.

Routers determine the best path based on factors such as proximity, reliability, and speed.

The message is forwarded from router to router until it reaches the intended destination.

📨 Routing determines the best path for messages to reach their destination.

🌐 Multiple paths exist between computers to ensure reliable communication.

🔄 Messages are forwarded between routers to reach the final recipient.

🔁 Routing allows the internet to be fault-tolerant and reliable by using multiple paths between computers.

⚡ Adding more routers improves performance and scalability of the system.

🌐 Information is sent across the internet by routing it through a network of routers to reach its destination IP address.
