Variety of Internet hosts

The next diagram shows how a user in the USA send a mail to an user in the Theoretical Physics Department of the University of Madras. The user, from her home at USA, dials up (2400 bytes per second line) to a workstation in a university, writes and sends the message. The workstation send the mail, via a 2 Mbps line, to JVC net, a provider of Internet services. From there, a connection via satellite is made to the Software Technology Park, in Bangalore. There, the mail is forwarded to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, via another satellite connection. Finally, the user in the Theoretical Physics Department of the University of Madras, dias up to IMSc, and collects his mail.
