8What is Domain Name?
- A textual address for a location on the Internet
- (e.g.www.hkirc.net.hk or mail_at_hkirc.net.hk)
- Domain names first converted to the actual
numeric address (IP address) for actual
communication - (e.g. http// 202.40.161.1)
- Domain names mostly for web and emails
- (e.g. www.cnn.com / user_at_yahoo.com)
9Internet Addressing VS Domain Names
- The Internet uses two addressing schemes
- Number-based Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Text-based Domain Name System (DNS) names
- IP addresses
- Consists of four groups of numbers ranging from
0 to 255. separated by periods (e.g.
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn 202.40.161.1) - Each machine on the Internet has unique IP
address - Users obtain IP addresses from ISPs
- ISPs in HK obtain IP addresses from APNIC (Asia
Pacific Network Information Centre -
www.apnic.net )
