DNS, the abbreviation of Domain Name System, utilizes layered distributed database to process the mapping between domain names and IP addresses. Applied to TCP/IP network such as Internet, DNS looks up computers and services by means of user-friendly names. When user enters DNS name in applications, DNS service can resolve the name into other information related to it, for example, IP address.
