The physical network of networks

The Internet is not a cloud; it is a physical network of subsea fiber optic cables, terrestrial backbones, and routing computers connected together using TCP/IP(Technology). When you send data, it is chopped into standardized packets, routed across autonomous systems, and reassembled at the destination in milliseconds.

Translating names to IP addresses

Computers do not communicate via domain names. The DNS(Technology) functions as the world's distributed phonebook, resolving human-readable names like karadavi.com into numerical IP addresses routed through edge networks like Cloudflare(Company).
