The Internet has long since evolved into an important means of communication / news medium of our time and has long been a legal vacuum more.

As traffic or English. Traffic is a term used computers the flow of data within computer networks. Traffic in the narrow sense refers to the number of hits on a page.

The traffic volume of a kilobyte file is almost doubled because of the included bases. How many levels of a Web site to be downloaded, affects the transmission speed in thousands of bits per second ( kbit / sec. ) Is specified. However, this depends on the type of data transfer, and Internet connection.

Web pages are static or dynamic information collections, which serve merely for information, but not the possibility of active participation ( discussion) offer. Their content varies by new contributions to attach the top and " push away " older posts. However, these are still available at any time in an archive.

Internet forums allow the exchange of information more user forums and availability at any time. Thus, (often called posts or posts ) are not only read and responded immediately after its creation, but at any time and from any of their access messages. Which technique is permitted, is left to the forum operator. He needs under the Telecommunications Media Act turn imprint, contains the contact details of his person and e- mail address. Some forums also have a chat in which users who are currently online at the same time, but can sit at different locations to communicate with each other. In Germany, around 3.2 billion gigabytes of data traffic was generated in 2010.

Types of Access

• An analog connection without DSL is a connection, in which the computer is connected via a modem to the telephone socket. If a connection to a network provider, may at the same time neither phone nor a call is received (because the connection is then blocked ).
• With DSL stand instead of a line, both the trunk and the Internet. For the computer to a DSL modem must be connected. This in turn is connected to the DSL splitter which telephone and Internet connection splits into different frequency bands. Phone calls and simultaneously surfing are therefore possible. The splitter is connected to the telephone socket.
• An ISDN connection allows a further increase to be connected on the same line simultaneously with the power to operate a fax machine or to make phone calls over the normal telephone line. There are two lines available. DSL modems are available in different transmission rates, which are measured in megabits per second. With a faster modem, the download time is reduced accordingly.

A wireless router allows access to Internet connections and networks through the use of a wireless adapter. In many places, wireless connections are supplied for a small fee, for example, in the restaurant business. Service providers have in their software -Fi Finder, locate the open Wi-Fi connections with sufficient signal in the vicinity.

Term use and rating

( Internet Service Provider English) used for cost accounting Preferably, the concept of Internet service providers will. ISP provide, the cost of which to the customers, so the end user ( User anglizistisch called ) passed on resources for data transmission. In most beginners do a free quota (also free traffic or free volume ) is offered. The customer only pays for the additional traffic that exceeds this free volume. To some extent, simplistically speaking here of traffic instead of free traffic. There is also the option to pay an agreed price at which the actually consumed / converted data volume and online time is negligible ( DSL ) flat rate.

In particular, the term traffic is both used in a negative sense for consideration as unnecessary traffic, which mainly involves costs, as well as in the positive sense. Unwanted traffic is caused, for example on websites by hotlinking.

Provider, the network provider for the traffic. It is to be distinguished in the operating mode between an analog and digital ( ISDN ) connection, which has an impact on the data transfer speed.

Privacy and Security

In the data exchange via the Internet often remains the Privacy Policy on the track, especially if incorrectly contact information in plain text can be specified. These are very easy to spy programs ( crawlers ) - and often misused - read and for improper transactions to use ( UWG). To ensure the security of their own data set on the one hand but also to protect against unauthorized access even before introduction of Störprogrammen, regular, best automatic additions ( updates) the used firewall and virus scanner driver databases are required.
