The book gives excellent explanations for the animated images on this web site. This web page shows the animation of the computer designs in action. The book gives explanations of what the animations are about. Combining the books explanations with the animation provides a well rounded understanding of the animated computer.

Network protocol has become an important context of computers. Handling data through some kind of packets, as done in networking, is also used in some buses on the computer. This methodology has standards that apply to all cases (the overall context); but also individual standards that fit particular needs (variations); context and variations. The context is the basic design of the layers and protocols of processing at both ends of a network. The variations are the many possible, particular, sets of layers and protocols that are used or can be used. The protocols use layers to isolate the processing of various parts necessary for messaging.

Sending a Message Over the Internet

Note: TCP breaks the message down into workable units.

IP wraps the TCP Packet into the IP Packet.

The IP Packet hold the address of the receiver.

IP unwraps the TCP Packet at the other end.

TCP re-unites the message parts to produce the message
