Question

The dns server translates the URL into the IP address 8.8.8.8. What is the next step in the process?

Answer 1

Answer:

The web browser sends an HTTP request to the IP address, the IP address then sends the content that are displayed by the browser

Explanation:

The process of converting the typed in URL to a displayed page is as follows;

1) The typed in URL is sent to a DNS recursor by the browser

2) The recursor gets the DNS record for the domain from the cache if the record is cached or when the DNS record for the domain is not cached, the recursor makes a requests to the DNS root from which the name of the TLD nameserver is received

3) The TLD nameserver is contacted by the resolver to obtain the authoritative nameserver's IP address

4) With the information, the resolver contacts the authoritative nameserver and obtains the domain's IP address for the domain the resolver contacts

5) The obtained IP address for the URL's domain is then sent to the browser by the resolver

6) An HTTP request is sent by the browser to the IP address and the data received by the browser from that IP address is rendered and seen as the page content.
