True or false? The main network of connections that carry Internet traffic is called the Intranet? Or Backbone?
True is the answer because an intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet Protocols and network connectivity. The term refers to the most visible service, the internal website. In simple terms the intranet can be referred to a private version of the Internet or as a version of the Internet confined to an organization.

A location on the Web that acts as a launching point for searching and retrieving information is called a portal or homepage - The answer is true again because a Portal is a site on the World Wide Web that typically provides personalized capabilities to its visitors. It gives visitors a pathway to other content. It is created to use distributed applications, different numbers and types of middleware and hardware to provide services from a number of different sources.
