Usenet和Internet有什么区别？

If you are not familiar with it, you might think of Usenet as a completely different ‘network’ from the Internet, but are they two completely separate entities or are they ‘inter-connected’? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has the answer to that question.

如果您不熟悉Usenet，可以将Usenet视为与Internet完全不同的“网络”，但是它们是两个完全独立的实体还是“互连”的？ 今天的“超级用户”问答页面提供了该问题的答案。

问题 (The Question)

SuperUser reader Help My Self wants to know what the difference between Usenet and the Internet is:

超级用户阅读器“帮助我自己”想知道Usenet和Internet之间的区别是：

I am quite confused about what exactly Usenet is. On the Wiki article page, it says that Usenet is a “worldwide Internet distributed discussion system”.

我对Usenet到底是什么感到非常困惑。 在Wiki文章页面上，它说Usenet是一个“世界范围的Internet分布式讨论系统”。

First off, if it is “an Internet”, does that mean it’s just a global network of computers, but it’s not like, say, the World Wide Web with hypertext documents? I would like to know what draws the line between the correctness of just saying “the Internet” as opposed to, say, Usenet.

首先，如果它是“互联网”，是否就意味着它只是一个全球计算机网络，而不是像具有超文本文档的万维网？ 我想知道是什么在只说“互联网”与“ Usenet”的正确性之间划清界限。

Basically, Usenet is a global network, but doesn’t use the WWW? What does it use then?

基本上，Usenet是一个全球网络，但是不使用WWW吗？ 那它有什么用呢？

Are Usenet and the Internet two completely separate entities, or are they closely ‘inter-connected’ and part of a ‘greater whole’?

Usenet和Internet是两个完全独立的实体，还是紧密“相互联系”并且是“更大整体”的一部分？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributor Hennes has the answer for us:

超级用户贡献者Hennes为我们提供了答案：

Usenet is a network of servers which spread messages (posts) in newsgroups. They connect to each other, and people connect to them, over the Internet using TCP/IP, and exchange messages using the NNTP protocol.

Usenet是一个服务器网络，用于在新闻组中传播消息(帖子)。 它们相互连接，人们通过TCP / IP通过Internet连接，并使用NNTP协议交换消息。

The World Wide Web is a series of standalone servers, which people also reach over the Internet using TCP/IP, and retrieve web pages using the HTTP protocol.

万维网是一系列独立的服务器，人们也可以使用TCP / IP通过Internet进行访问，并使用HTTP协议检索网页。

But do not confuse the Web with the Internet. Webpages are but a small part of the Internet, and many other programs used to connect to each other long before the first webpages were ever served. (For that, see the history of WWW.) The one you might be most familiar with is email, which is usually sent via TCP/IP over the Internet using the SMTP protocol, but there are many more.

但是不要将Web与Internet混淆。 网页只是Internet的一小部分，许多其他程序在提供第一个网页之前就已经相互连接了。 (有关此信息，请参阅WWW的历史。)您可能最熟悉的电子邮件是电子邮件，通常使用SMTP协议通过Internet通过TCP / IP通过SMTP协议发送，但还有更多。

Also note that in the past, servers would exchange email and Usenet messages over phone lines using UUCP as the protocol – forming an informal UUCPNET – as Internet connections were rare and expensive for a long time.

还应注意，过去，由于Internet连接很少且昂贵，因此服务器将使用UUCP作为协议通过电话线交换电子邮件和Usenet消息，形成非正式的UUCPNET。
