How does the internet work?

This talk is for anyone who has wondered how the internet works under the hood (or needed to talk about it in a technical interview!). How does routing work? Why are IP addresses proliferating? How does information move around in LANs & ethernet? What is netmasking? This is the foundation to begin talking about security on the internet.
