IPI, the full name is Internet Protocol Interoperability, which is called Internet Protocol Interoperability in Chinese. It is a key technology in the Internet field. It mainly defines the principles and methods for how computers on the global Internet communicate with each other, and provides interoperability capabilities between different networks.
In today's highly connected world, various networks and devices need to be able to communicate with each other seamlessly to enable the free flow of data and information. However, due to differences in various network technologies and protocols, this is not an easy task. IPI is the key to solving this problem.
IPI achieves cross-network interoperability by formulating unified Internet communication protocol specifications so that different networks and devices can communicate according to these specifications. These protocol specifications specify how data is transmitted between different networks, how to handle network failures, how to establish and maintain connections, and more.
IPI not only plays an important role in the traditional Internet field, but also plays a key role in emerging fields such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data. In the Internet of Things, various devices and sensors need to be able to communicate with each other to achieve information sharing and collaborative work.
Function of the Internet:
1. Information dissemination: The Internet makes the dissemination of information on a global scale faster, more convenient and more extensive. People can share and obtain knowledge in news, technology, culture and other aspects through various online platforms (such as social media, blogs, forums, etc.).
