TCP/IP Basics
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data. It's the foundation of many Windows network applications.
IP (Internet Protocol) handles routing and addressing. Windows uses IP to discover and route data packets across the network.
DNS
DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names (like 'www.example.com') into IP addresses that computers use.
Windows relies on DNS to locate web servers, which is crucial for the overview page's functionality.
HTTP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used for transferring web pages and resources. The overview page connects to web servers via HTTP.
The Overview Page
This page is a sample of the Windows network infrastructure. The page allows users to explore the connections between different components and provides a simple visual representation of the network.
