Solution

The Federal Networking Council (FNC) defines the term "Internet" as a global information system that is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP), or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons. It is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other IP-compatible protocols. It provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure.

Two important concepts behind this definition are:

  1. Globally Unique Address Space Based on the Internet Protocol (IP): This concept refers to the unique IP address that every device connected to the internet must have. The IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. The role of the IP address is to host or network interface identification and location addressing.

  2. Support for Communications Using the TCP/IP Suite: The TCP/IP suite is a set of communication protocols used on the internet and similar networks. It is named after two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were also the first two networking protocols defined. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received at the destination.
