The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol is a process that allows internet users to navigate the internet using hostnames instead of numeric IP addresses. DNS is like the phonebook of the internet; it simplifies the process of searching for specific websites through web browsers.
How Domain Name System Works?
How Domain Name System works What is DNS? The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website.
What protocol does DNs use?
DNS uses the User Datagram Protocol to answer DNS queries due to its speed and low overhead. For DNS responses that are larger than 512 bytes, or if a server is managing zone transfers (the transferring of DNS records from primary to secondary DNS servers) or similar tasks, it uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
