Questions
1) By OSI layer, which group sets the standards for each OSI layer?
Layer 1: ANSI, IEEE, EIA/TIA.
Layer 2: IEEE, EIA/TIA
Layer 3: IP, IETF
Layer 4: TCP, ITEF
Layer 5: POP, SQL
Layer 6: MPEG
Layer 7: HTML, SMTP
2) Describe, by device, how information from your computers keyboard
at home gets out to the Internet.

Keystrokes are sent from keyboard to the CPU which then is accessed
by an application and formatted to be sent to the internet. Network
cards receive packets and send out these packets over the Ethernet
cable to a router, delivered to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and
routed to the destination website. If an address is inputed, the address
is sent to a DNS service which returns the IP address.

3) Go to speedtest.net and test your Internet connection speed. Report

that on your assignment
