Internet has become an inseperable part of the life of any person of the 21st century. We spend hours surfing the net but yet we would fail to answer even a basic question on how internet operates?
Thus, we would like to thank Prof. Ameya Shettye for selecting our group for such a project topic. It as been a very educational experience working on this topic and surprising how all the components work together in sync within fraction of seconds and result in us enjoying the internet.
We would also like to thank all those who have helped in the completion of this project.
Hope it fulfills your expectations.
