Response to "How Internet Infrastructure Works" by Jeff Tyson

This article gives a very basic overview of internet infrastructure. It focuses on explaining the different parts and aspects of the internet and how they operate and communicate with one another.
The topics and areas covered are IP addresses, NAP's ISP's, PoP's, Routers, URLs, DNSs, Ports, and HTTP. Essentially, the author gave a series of brief definitions on each of the aspects of the internet and explained why they are all crucial.
This isn't technically an article. It seems like something you'd see in a textbook. Because of the articles bullet-ed style, its hard to really pin down an overall theme. This is not to say that I didn't learn what the pieces of internet infrastructure are. Its just to say that the "article" was really more of a list of elongated definitions.
However, I did learn some relevant information about how information is shared and accessed via the world wide web.
