This document discusses key concepts related to URLs and the internet infrastructure. It defines terms like internet, intranet, URL, URI and protocol. It explains the components of a URL like the scheme, host and path. Traceroute is introduced as a tool to trace the path a request takes. The roles of organizations like ICANN, IETF and registrars in managing domain names and internet resources are overviewed at a high level. Steps for registering a domain name with a registrar are outlined. The difference between a URI and URL is that a URI identifies a resource while a URL provides location information to access that resource.
