Content introduction:
//From cellular phone networks and cloud computing to the Internet and social media platforms, the Internet has become ubiquitous.
//Why is the wireless network at home faster than that in a coffee shop? Why do Amazon, Netflix and YouTube use different ranking and recommendation methods? What's the point of doing this?
//Do Facebook users really meet the six-degree separation?
There are six principles hidden in the internal operation of these functions and other functions, which will appear in various networks. The two authors compare the Internet with other aspects of daily life, and you may be surprised at how similar the postal system, traffic congestion and stop signs are to Internet routing, network congestion and WiFi (wireless local area network) random access respectively.
You need to share online media whether you are making a phone call or surfing the Internet with WiFi. Just like air, you need to share it with many people. In this case, how can we not interfere with each other's connection? Nowadays, many websites need to process a lot of raw data to find an effective ranking method. How do search engines like Google rank the results presented to us? Online retail and entertainment companies such as Amazon and Netflix have many customers. How does the website allocate space for advertisers? Can it influence public opinion and make product evaluation and recommendation more accurate and useful? Why are some videos on fire? Are some people more influential than others in social networks?
The two experts answered these questions easily through simple language, analogy, stories and hundreds of illustrations, and described the core concepts of the network. Eric, chairman of Alphabet? Schmidt Dennis, former CEO of Verizon Wireless? Strigell, vint cerf and robert kahn, the "fathers of the Internet", also share their valuable insights in this book.
