SERVERS ON INTERNET

Almost the entire structure of the Internet is based upon a client-server model. High-level root nameservers, DNS servers, and routers direct the traffic on the internet. There are millions of servers connected to the Internet, running continuously throughout the world.
Among the many services provided by Internet servers are:
the World Wide Web,
the Domain Name System,
e-mail,
FTP file transfer,
instant messaging,
streaming audio and video, and
online gaming.
Virtually every action taken by an ordinary Internet user requires one or more interactions with one or more servers.
There are also technologies that operate on an inter-server level
