What is it called when millions of computers are connected by a network of networks?

The term for connecting networks into other networks is "internetworking." Hence, a network of multiple computer networks is called an "internetwork." This is often shortened to "internet." This is why the term "Internet," referring to the particular network of networks through which you are reading this answer, is usually capitalized as a proper noun.

Unlike the Internet, an internetwork does not necessarily have to be very big. In fact, any home or business that contains more than one wireless router connected together could be said to contain an internetwork. On the other hand, there is no limit to the potential size of an internetwork.


The Internet is such an internetwork, and is commonly called the Internet because it is the only worldwide network of millions of computers that we have. That is not to say there could not be another one, however. If we ever colonize other planets, each world will necessarily have its own global internetwork. We may have to come up with new terminology at that point.

What protocal used in dns?

Typically User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is used for both the request from the client and the response from the server. However, sometimes when the response from the server is larger, it may be handled with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

How TCP insures reliable data interchange despite the use of connectionless Internet Protocal?

You have a 2 computers in separate rooms someone told you you can link both to internet with and without a router ihave a speedstream 4200 modem dsl boardband how do you do either whats needed?

You'll need a router to hook up more than one computer to the internet and there's a wireless and wired way to do that. With a wireless router you'll hook it up to your modem and it will broadcast a wireless network which you will be able to log onto anywhere in the house. With the other option you will have to run a cable to the computer that isn't located next to the modem. Now assuming that the two computers are towers, they probably won't have a wireless card and won't be able to connect wirelessly unless you go to your local electronics store and buy one. At my house it wasn't a big deal to run the cables through the walls, and we use a Microsoft base station. It works good and requires no set up, all you have to do is plug it in. With wireless it can be a little bit difficult to set up, depending on the router, and they're also more expensive (I've also never purchased the wireless antennae for a computer but would expect it to cost not too far under $100 [you'll only need one]). If you have a laptop this is certainly the way to go, since you'll be able to access the internet anywhere in the house. My suggestion if you go wireless is to have someone you know who's 'computer savy' to help set it up.

What you need,

Wireless; wireless router, (if you your computer doesn't have a wirless card) a wireless antennae.

Wired; a base station, an internet cable running for the basestation to the both computers.

List the different types of super scalar processor?

Superscalar processors have a main processor that can take only one command at a time.
