DNS (Domain Name System):

Overview:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It translates more readily memorized domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network.

Components:

  1. Domain Names: Human-readable names like www.example.com.
  2. DNS Servers: These are computers that store DNS records and respond to DNS queries. There are different types, such as:
    • Root Servers: These are the starting point in the DNS hierarchy.
    • Top-Level Domain (TLD) Servers: These handle top-level domain queries (.com, .org, .net, etc.).
    • Authoritative Name Servers: These store the actual DNS records for a domain.
    • Recursive DNS Servers: These query other DNS servers on behalf of the client until they obtain the IP address for the domain name.

DNS Resolution Process:

  1. A user tries to access a website using a domain name (e.g., www.example.com).
  2. The client device sends a DNS query to its configured DNS server.
  3. The DNS server checks its cache for a matching record. If not found:
  4. The query is forwarded to a series of DNS servers (recursive resolution), starting from the root servers, then to the appropriate TLD servers, and finally to the authoritative DNS server for the domain.
  5. The authoritative DNS server provides the IP address for the domain.
  6. The client receives the IP address and establishes a connection to the web server associated with that IP.

5G (Fifth Generation):

Overview:

5G is the fifth generation of mobile network technology, succeeding 4G. It promises significantly faster data download and upload speeds, reduced latency, increased reliability, and more consistent connectivity for an increasing number of connected devices.

Technical Features:

  1. High Data Rates: 5G offers peak data rates up to 20 Gbps in ideal conditions.
  2. Low Latency: Reduced latency rates as low as 1 millisecond.
  3. Massive Connectivity: It supports up to a million devices per square kilometer.
  4. Network Slicing: Allows the creation of multiple virtual networks with different characteristics on the same physical infrastructure.
  5. Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB): Offers faster and more stable internet connectivity for mobile devices.
  6. Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC): Designed for mission-critical applications where reliability and low latency are crucial, like autonomous vehicles or remote surgery.
