Session description
This is a basic technical training on how the Internet works. It provides the audience with information on the underlying building blocks of the Internet and the functioning of the different Internet layers (ISPs, IP addressing, Domain Name System, naming). There will be pointers to policy issues that can have an impact on the technical operations of the different internet layers (e.g. data protection, privacy, content control, etc.). The audience will have the opportunity to engage in some practical exercises that will help understand how data travels and how layers interact. Participants are invited to ask questions, including on how certain policy decisions can affect the daily use of the Internet.
Format
The training on the Internet basics will last approximately 60min including practical exercises, followed by 30min for Q&A and discussions. Pointers to policy issues and legislative developments establish the connection to current debates and can be used to trigger the discussion.
Further reading
We will also produce an info flyer with the basics about the Domain Name System and distribute it on site.
