Internet Protocol and HTTP Requests

Once you find the IP address from DNS, then an HTTP request is issued. This means that the browser will now build a connection with the server that matches the corresponding IP address to transfer information. This connection is built using internet protocols. Internet protocols are the set of rules and guidelines that dictate how data communication over the Internet takes place. Several internet protocols exist, but the most commonly used protocol is known as TCP protocol.

Once the browser receives the correct IP address of the specified domain name, it builds a connection with a webserver that matches the IP address. As this connection is established, now the data transfer from the webserver to the client (your computer) can take place.
