Week 7 Internet Regulation
Internet Regulation is a group of different
branches that all have specific tasks in
regards to the internet’s functioning to
ensure it runs smoothly. After researching I
found that there are 6 different entities
involved with keeping the internet
functioning with limited problems. Including
the internet society, the internet architecture
board, internet engineering task force,
InterNIC, PFIR-People for Internet
Responsibility, and ICANN,org.
Week 7 Internet Governance
I have found that Internet Governance is the
development and application of shared
principles, norms, rules, decision-making, as
well as the programs that help to create the
evolution and use of the internet, as defined
on Wikipedia. This governance have
established tasks with the Internet Society.
The tasks include domain names, internet
protocol, root name servers, and
standardization. All of these tasks help to
manage the internet to keep it up and
running.

Week 8 EDx
I looked into what EDX was and found that
it is actually an online site, not-for-profit
enterprise that was founded in fall 2012
offer online university-level courses of
different aspects free of charge for a large
audience. This site in strictly designed to
create a new online learning experience.

Internet Protocol Addressing
Internet Protocol Addressing is the
numerical labels found on device, such as
computers and printers that use Internet
Protocol for communication. This Internet
Protocol Addressing serves in two roles.
These roles are both host or network
interface identification and location
addressing. The common IP Addresses
used today I found to be the IPv4 and IPv6,
and can be static or dynamic.
•
IPv6
•
IPv6, the newest version of internet
protocol, is known as the primary
communication protocol that the entire
internet is built. Each device that has
access and use of the internet has this
internet protocol (IP). The device must be
assigned a number known as the IP
address. After researching I have found
that IPv6 is actually the first publicly used
version of internet protocol.
Net Neutrality
Net Neutrality is the principal that
promotes government advocacy to the
regulation of internet service providers. This
net neutrality principle works to prevent
restrictions on content, sites platforms,
types of equipment that may be attached
and modes of communication. Some
opponents of net neutrality say that
broadband servers have no plans to block
content or degrade network performance.

Windows 8
Is the current release of the Windows
operating system, produced by Microsoft.
Primarily this system is focused on
improving its users on mobile devices such
as such as tablets or other rival operating
systems, while also taking advantage of
new emerging technologies.
Routing Autonomous Systems
These systems are a collection of
Internet protocol routing prefixes under the
control of one or more networking
operators which present a common clearly
defined routing policy to the internet.
These RSA’s in the routing system had
exceeded more than 5000 in 1999, which
has increased drastically when compared
to that of 2012 when it exceeded 42,000.

Privacy
Privacy is defined as the ability for
an individual or group to have the
rights to exclude themselves or any
information about themselves and
therefore reveal themselves secretly.
There are numerous forms of privacy
one example is in terms of physical
privacy which deal with the intrusion
upon another’s personal space.

Border Gateway Protocol
The Border Gateway Protocol was
created to replace the Exterior
Gateway Protocol. BGP is a particular
protocol that makes core routing
decisions on the internet. BGP makes
route decisions based on path,
network policies and/or rule-sets.

Spam
Spam is the term primarily used to
describe the unwanted bulk mail that
often finds its ways to your mailbox via
the web. Things such as advertisements
etc. are normally sent to be placed as
spam. Although the most widely known
type of spam is used via emailing,
things such as wiki spam, social
networking spam, and mobile phone
messaging spam etc. are also involved
with receiving these bulk texts.

MOOC
MOOC which stands for the
Massive Open Online Course is the
type of online course that is primarily
aimed at large-scale participation and
open access via web. There are two
key feature involved with making
MOOC useful these two features
include open access and scalability.
Open access when involved with
MOOC allows for no need for being
registered in school to take a “MOOC”
and as for scalability MOOC suggests
that the course is made for support of
and indefinite amount of people.

Security: From what I have researched security is defined as the

Standardization: This is the idea of a process of developing
degree of protection in order to safeguard a nation, union of
nations, person or person against danger, damage, loss and crime.
Security, although compared to numerous other terms, has to take
into account the actions of those who are attempting to cause the
destruction.
and implementing technical standards. This is most widely used
when companies release new software to the market or products.
Standards can be de facto, de jure, and voluntary. De facto
meaning followed by an informal convention or dominant usage.
De jure which is stated to be part of legally binding contracts, laws
or regulations. And voluntary, pretty self explanatory, but is the term
used for which are published and available for people to consider
use.
