Undoubtedly, there is no day going by without thoughts or writings concerning the internet – but do we really know how it is actually working? Who, in fact, is well-versed with networks or protocols making our daily use of the Internet possible? Who has ever heard of congestion control or flow control? Probably only a few – provided you did not study informatics before, although both these inventions make the functioning of our today\u2019s internet possible in the first place.<\/p>\n

On April 9th and 10th, a group of researchers at HIIG as well as some associate researchers of the Institute had the chance to ask questions one always wanted to know about the internet but were afraid to ask. Prof. Bj\u00f6rn Scheuermann from the department of technical informatics of the Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin took two days time for us to elucidate the technical structures of the Internet in a cram course.<\/p>\n\n\t\n\t\t
