What is the purpose of the domain name system

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols. By providing a worldwide, distributed directory service, the Domain Name System has been an essential component of the functionality of the Internet since 1985.

The Domain Name System delegates the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to Internet resources by designating authoritative name servers for each domain. Network administrators may delegate authority over sub-domains of their allocated name space to other name servers. This mechanism provides distributed and fault-tolerant service and was designed to avoid a single large central database.

Answer:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a central part of the internet, providing a way to match names (a website you're seeking) to numbers (the address for the website). Anything connected to the internet - laptops, tablets, mobile phones, websites - has an Internet Protocol (IP) address made up of numbers.

HELP!!! What would var d=?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

51015

Explanation:

Var b is a string, and it'll treat addition like <em>string concatenation </em>(aka just adding a message.) Since it's concatenation, it'll then turn the numbers/integers into strings.

This kind of behavior might be different depending on the language, though. Some languages might not allow this. (For example, C and C++)

What is an example of technology that helps support the idea of continental drift.
docker41 [41]

I don't know technology, but using Satellite images, we are able to see that the continents once fitted into one 'jigsaw'. This shows that the continents must have drifted to its original place. Furthermore, Geothermal stations have pointed out convection currents in the Earth's mantle has caused the movement of crusts.

Which of the following is true of how the Internet has responded to the increasing number of devices now using the network? a) T
zalisa [80]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The internet protocols are changed every year to adapt to the new devices that have been connected to the network. Back in the 1990s, most traffic used a few protocols.  Pv4 routed packets, TCP turned those packets into connections, SSL (later TLS) encrypted those connections, DNS named hosts to connect to, and HTTP was often the application protocol using it all.

For many years, there were negligible changes to these core Internet protocols; HTTP added a few new headers and methods, TLS slowly went through minor revisions, TCP adapted congestion control, and DNS introduced features like DNSSEC. The protocols themselves looked about the same ‘on the wire’ for a very long time (excepting IPv6, which already gets its fair amount of attention in the network operator community.)

As a result, network operators, vendors, and policymakers that want to understand (and sometimes, control) the Internet have adopted a number of practices based upon these protocols’ wire ‘footprint’ — whether intended to debug issues, improve quality of service, or impose policy.

Now, significant changes to the core Internet protocols are underway. While they are intended to be compatible with the Internet at large (since they won’t get adoption otherwise), they might be disruptive to those who have taken liberties with undocumented aspects of protocols or made an assumption that things won’t change.
