The four parts of the URL is explain the following example.
Question 19.
Explain the Flat name space.
Answer:
- Flat name space is where the name is assigned to the IP address. They do not have any specific structure.
- In this flat name space, some meaningful names are been given to IP address for accessing.
- The major disadvantage of flat name space is that they cannot be used in large system.
- Because they need to be accessed and controlled centrally to avoid ambiguity and redundancy. But it is difficult in flat name system.
Question 20.
Explain Hierarchical name space in various parts.
Answer:
- Hierarchical name space is where the name is made up of several parts.
- The first part may represent the nature of organisation.
- The second part may represent the name of organisation.
- The third part may represent the department of the organisation and so on.
Question 21.
Write the types of name servers.
Answer:
There are three types of name servers which control the entire Domain Name
system.
- Root Name server – top level server which contains entire DNS tree, maintained by ICANN. There are 13 servers.
- Primary / Master Name server – contains a zone resource records. These records are updatable by domain name holders such as organisations.
- Secondary / slave name server – contains a copy of primary server files. This server has no authority to update but reduce the work load of master server by sharing the queries.
Question 22.
Explain the zone component in DNS.
Answer:
- The entire name space is divided into many different zones. It is the area upto which the server has access.
- Zone is defined as a group of contiguous domains and sub domains.
- If the zone has a single domain, then zone and domain are the same.
- Every zone has the server which contains a database called zone file.
Using the zone file, the DNS server replies the queries about Hosts in its zone.
Question 23.
Discuss the term Resolver in DNS?
Answer:
- The resolver is a program which is responsible for initiating the translation of a domain name into an IP address.
- Resolver either asks server to provide information about IP address.
- It is doesn’t find any information, then it sends the request to other servers and so- on.
- Once the resolver receives the mapping it checks whether it is an error or resolution (mapping) and provides result according to that.
Question 24.
Write about IANA.
Answer:
- IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is an affiliated authority of ICANN.
- IANA does the overall management of the DNS root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resource handling.
- IANA takes care of a number of key aspects of the DNS, including the root zone, and the domains.int and .arpa.
Eg: https://www.iana.org/
Question 25.
Write the basic rules of Domain names.
Answer:
- Domain can consists of Alphabets a through z and digit 0 through 9.
- Hyphens are allowed, but hyphens cannot be used as first character of a domain name.
- Spaces are not allowed.
- Special symbols such as ! $, &, _, and so on.
- Domain names have the minimum length of 2, and the maximum length of 63 characters. The entire name may be at most 253 character long.
- Domain names are not case- sensitive. (It may be upper, lower or mixing of both case letters).
Question 26.
What is name space? Explain.
Answer:
A Domain Name Space (DNS) is a name service provided by the internet for Transmission control protocol (TCP) networks or Internet Protocol (IP).
The domain names must be very unique and appropriate. The name space can be organised in two ways,
- Flat name space,
- Hierarchical name space.
(i) Flat name space:
It is where the name is assigned to the IP address. They do not have any specific structure. In this flat name space, some meaningful names are been given to IP address for accessing. The major disadvantage of flat name space is that they cannot be used in large system. To avoid this major disadvantage hierarchical name space „ is used in large.
(ii) Hierarchical name space:
It is where the name is made up of several parts. The first part may represent the nature of organisation, the second
part may represent the name of organisation, and third part may represent I the department of the organisation and so on.
The centralised authority can be given to nature and then to name of the organisation and so on. To achieve hierarchical name space, Domain Name space was designed.
Question 27.
Define the following terms, (a) Domain, (b) zone, (c) server, (d) Domain Name space, (e) Name server.
Answer:
Domain:
A domain is a single node of the Domain name space.
Zone:
A zone is a subset of the domain name space generally stored in a file.
Server:
A server can contain more than one zone files. A zone can contain more than one sub domains. .
Domain name space:
Domain name space is an entire collection domains, t sub domains and zones.
Name server:
Name server, manages the database of domain names and corresponding IP addresses.

Answer:
- DNS (Domain Name System) is one of the application layer.
- To enable the use of domain names in a network, the Domain Name System (DNS) is used.
- DNS provides the domain name to IP address maping through name servers. While typing a web address, DNS translates it into a machine friendly IP address and directs your Internet connection to the correct website.
- For example 35.173.67.207 is the IP address for www.tnschools.in.
Question 40.
Differentiate IPv4 and IPv6.
Answer:
IP v4 Address | IPv6 Address |
IPv4 Address is a 32 bit unique address given to a computer system. | IPv6 address is a 128 bit unique address given to a computer system |
If the network has P connections then ‘P’ addresses should be there. | The number of addresses that can be formed in IPv6 is 2128. |
An address space is the total number of addresses that can be made by that protocol. | In IPv6 address, the 128 bits are divided into eight 16 – bits blocks. |
It follows two ways to represent the IP address, Binary and Dotted – decimal notation. | It follows Hexadecimal number notation. |
Question 41.
Differentiate Domain name and URL.
Answer:
Domain Name |
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) |
Domain Name is the sequence of Labels are separated by dot (.). | URL is the address of a document on the Internet. |
The domain name always read from the lower level to higher level. | URL is made up of four parts – Protocols, host name, folder name and file name. . |
The root node always represent NULL string, all the domain name ending with dot (.). | Depending on the applications, additional information can be added to the URE. |
Eg: Some domain name are .com, .edu, .gov, .org etc., | Eg: http://cms.tn.gov.in / sites / default / files / press – release / pro 070119.jpg |
Question 42.
What are the differences between Absolute URL and Relative URL?
Answer:
Absolute URL |
Relative URL |
Absolute URL is the complete address of a document on the Internet. | Relative URL is the partial address of a document on the Internet. |
Absolute URL contains all the information that are required to find the files on the Internet. | Relative URL contains only file name or file name with folder name. |
If any of the four parts of the URL is missing then the browser would not able to link to the specific file. | We can use this type of URL when the file is on the same server related to original document. |
Absolute URL contains all the four necessary and fundamental parts of URL. | Relative URL contains only folder name and the file name or just the file name. |
Question 43.
Write a note on domain name.
Answer:
- Domain is the sequence of labels.
- In domain name the sequence of labels are separated by dot (.).
- The domain name is always read from the lower level to higher level i.e., from the leaf node to root node.
- Since the root node always represent NULL string, all the domain name ending with dot.
- Domain names are not case -sensitive. Domain names may also be used in other than English languages in UNICODE format.
Question 44.
Differentiate web address and URL.
Answer:
Web Address |
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) |
A web address more commonly defines a unique name that helps people remember a URL. | URL is the address of a document on the Internet. |
It is usually in simpler form, such as Amazon.com | URL is the address of a particular website, audio stream or document available on the web. |
Generally your browser will recognize the proper URL when you type in a web address. | URL consist of the Internet Protocol needed to access the item you wish to locate on the host computer. |
Web address also known as URL, is an internet or intranet name that points to a location where a file, directory or website page is hosted. | URL is madeup four parts – protocols, host name, folder name, and file name. Each part has its own specific function. |
Question 45.
Explain briefly the components of DNS.
Answer:
There are three important components in the Domain Name System (DNS). They are
(i) Name space,
(ii) Name server,
(iii) Zone.
Name space:
The domain names must be very unique and appropriate. The names should be selected from a namespace. Hie namespace can be organised in two ways.
Flat name space:
It is where the name is assigned to the IP address. They do not have any specific structure. In this flat name space, some meaningful names are been given to IP address for accessing.
Hierarchical name space:
Hierarchical name space is where the name is made . up of several parts. The first part may represent the nature of organisation, the second part may represent the department of the organisation and so on.
Name servers:
The information which needs to be stored in domain name space is quite large. Single system would be inefficient and insufficient to store such a huge amount as responding to requests from all over the world.
The best way to do that is to divide the entire space into many domains and subdomains.
Name server is a main part in the Domain Name system (DNS). It translate the domain names to IP addresses.
Zone:
The entire name space is divided into many different zones. It is the area up to which the server has access.
Zone is defined as a group of contiguous domains and sub domains.
If the zone has a single domain, then zone and domain are the same.
There are two conies of zone files available, master file and slave file.
Question 46.
Classify and Explain the IP address.
Answer:
Internet Protocol (IP) address is simply the logical address in the network layer.
Due to increase in the number of system in a network there is a need of more addresses which lead to two addressing methods i.e., IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 Address:
IPv4 address is a 32-bit unique address given to a computer system. No two systems can have same IP address.
There are two ways to represent the IP address. They are: Binary notation, Dotted-decimal notation.
In binary notation the address is expressed as 32-bit binary values.
Eg: 00111001 10001001 00111000 00000111 .
In dotted-decimal notation the address is written in decimal format separated by dots(.).
Eg: 128.143.137.144
IPv6 Address:
IPv6 address is a 128-bit unique address given to a computer system. The number of addresses that can be formed in IPv6 is 2<sup>128</sup>. In IPv6 address, the 128 bits are divided in to eight 16-bits blocks. Each block is then changed into 4-digit Hexadecimal numbers separated by colon symbols.
Eg: 2001 : 000 : 32313 : DFEI: 0063 : 0000 : 0000 : FEFB
Question 47.
Explain about the name server?
Answer:
(i) Name server contains the DNS database which consists of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.
(ii) The information which needs to be stored in domain name space is quite large.
(iii) Single system would be inefficient and insufficient to store such a huge amount as responding to requests from all over the world.
(iv) The solution to this problem is to distribute the information among many computers.
(v) The best way to do that is to divide the entire space into many domains and sub domains.
(vi) Name server is a main part in the Domain Name System (DNS). It translate the domain names’to IP addresses.
(vii) There are three types of name servers which control the entire Domain Name system.
(viii) Root Name server – top level server which contains entire DNS tree, maintained by ICANN.
(ix) Primary / Master Name server – contains a zone resource records.
(x) Secondary / slave name server – contains a copy of primary server files.
This server has no authority to update.
Question 48.
What is domain name space? Explain.
Answer:
(i) Domain name space was designed to achieve hierarchical name space.
(ii) In this, the names are represented as a tree like structural with root element on the top and this tree can have a maximum of 128 levels starting from root element taking the level 0 to level 127.
(iii) In this tree structure represent the domain name space where the root element is present at the top most level.
(iv) The next level to the root element is node. Each node in the tree has a label and a domain name.
(v) Label is a string which can have maximum of 63 characters. In other words, labels are the names given to domains.
(vi) Domain is a sub tree in domain name space tree structure. The domain can be further divided into sub domains.
(vii) Domain name is the sequence of labels.
(viii) Domain name is the sequence of labels. In domain name the sequence . of labels are separated by dot (.). The domain name is always read from the lower level to higher level.
Question 49.
Explain how the DNS is working.
Answer:
Domain Name System (DNS) is a client / server application.
When the user enters the URL (consists of protocol, domain name, folder name, file name) in the browser, the system first checks its DNS cache for the corresponding IP address.
If the IP address is found in the cache then the information is retrieved from the cache.
If not, then the system needs to perform DNS query i.e., the system needs to query the resolver about the IP address from Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Each resolver has its own cache and if it is found in that then the query is passed to next domain server i.e., TLD (Top Level Domain) which reviews the request and direct the query to name servers associated with that specific domain. Until the query is solved it is passed to next level domains.
Finally the mapping and the record are returned to the resolver who checks whether the returned value is a record or an error. Then the resolver returns the record back to the computer browser which is then viewed by the user.
