Difference between Ethernet and internet

Answer 1

Ethernet is a set of standards for physically connecting computers in a local area network. In terms of OSI network layers, Ethernet provides only the physical layer and the data link layer.

The internet is a global, physical network of millions of computers that communicate by sending and receiving packets of data. The Internet supports many different communication protocols for different applications: e-mail, file transfer, domain resolution, remote terminals and hypertext. In terms of network layers, Internet standards define the network layer and transport layer.

Internet services can be carried on Ethernet connections for short distances but other data link technologies are required to construct wide-area networks.

Answer 2

An Intranet would be set up by, for example, a company for employees to use within the business. They might use it for running the day to day business such as looking at cutomers records. The content would often be viewed in a browser as usual, but would only be visible to computers within the corporation.

The Internet, on the other hand - well, you and millions of others are using it. It's a collection of interconnected computers spread all over the world that anyone can access.

Answer 3

There's one major distinction between an intranet and the Internet: The Internet is an open, public space, while an intranet is designed to be a private space. An intranet may be accessible from the Internet, but as a rule it's protected by a password and accessible only to employees or other authorized users.

From within a company, an intranet server may respond much more quickly than a typical Web site. This is because the public Internet is at the mercy of traffic spikes, server breakdowns and other problems that may slow the network. Within a company, however, users have much more bandwidth and network hardware may be more reliable. This makes it easier to serve high bandwidth content, such as audio and video, over an intranet.

Answer 4

i think that Internet is like the one you're probably using right now. Intranet is like a private network, like a school network. I only think, though, I might be wrong.

Answer 5
