Inter Net/InterNet/Internet and internet have had different meanings, with internet meaning "an interconnected set of distinct networks", i.e. a network of networks, and Inter Net/InterNet/Internet referring to the largest internet, the worldwide, publicly-available IP internet. In this usage, the Internet is the familiar network on which public Web sites exist; however, an internet is any network of smaller networks. Any group of networks connected together is an internet; each of these networks may or may not be part of the Internet. The distinction is evident in many RFCs, books, and articles from the 1980s and early 1990s (some of which, such as RFC 1918, refer to "internets" in the plural). Some argue that the usage apparently agreed on by the IETF, ICANN, the W3C, and the Internet Society is by definition the correct usage.
