WHAT IS IP ADDRESS?
 An IP address, short for Internet Protocol address.

 An IP address is a fascinating product of modern

computer technology designed to allow one computer
(or other digital device) to communicate with another via
the Internet.

 IP addresses allow the location of literally billions of

digital devices that are connected to the Internet to be
pinpointed and differentiated from other devices.

 Most IP addresses look like : 151.101.65.121

 Other IP addresses look like : 2001:4860:4860::8844

WHAT IS DNS?
 DNS stands for domain name system.

 DNS servers translate web addresses (like

www.howtogeek.com) into their IP addresses (like
23.92.23.113) so users don’t have to remember strings
of numbers for every website they want to visit.

 DNS controls your domain name's website and email

settings.
HOW ARE THEY SIMILAR?

 IP and DNS are both naming systems for

addressing namespaces allocated for entities
in a Network.
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
Ip Address DNS
An IP address is an address assigned to any A DNS address is a Domain Name Service
computer (including servers) to identify it on which is used to convert alphabetic
a given network. references into a server's IP address
generally for hosting services.
A logical numerical address to each entity in A domain names is used to identify a website
a TCP/IP based network and the routing or over the internet.
transporting data packets from source hosts
to destination hosts.
The format of an IP address is four numbers A domain name can identify one or more IP
separated by periods and each number can addresses. Also more than one domain
be between 0 to 255. names can point to a single IP address.
For example, 192.168.10.230 is an IP For example, consoleindiainc.com is the
address. domain name for our website.
WHERE DO THEY INTERACT?
 The Domain Name System (DNS) converts human
readable internet addresses into numerical IP
addresses that computers like to use.
HOW THE IP ADDRESS WORKS?
 When we accessing a network that is connected to the
internet itself or one that gives you access to the
internet. The computer uses internet protocol, and
your IP address is used as a virtual return address to
establish a connection.
 HOW THE DNS WORKS?
1. You type a domain name such as google.com into your browser using
client computer operating system such as Windows or Apple OS
(“client”).
2. The client needs to find the IP address where google.com search engine
is located on the earth (typically all websites are hosted in the Internet
data center).
3. Your browser will send this query to the operating system.
4. Each operating system is configured to query certain dns servers.
Typically your ISP or network administrator configures such dns
servers called Resolving Name Server.
5. The resolving name server does not aware of the location of the
google.com, but it does know where the root servers are located.
6. Next, the resolving name server find the location of the top-level domain
name server to send query for google.com. Each domain on the Internet
has authoritative name server.
7. Finally, the authoritative name server will give you exact IP address of
google.com. This information will come back to to the resolving name
server, which caches the information and send backs an answer (answer
to your query what is IP address of google.com) to the browser to the
correct place. The end result you will see google search engine home
page.
MORE IMPORTANT FACTS ON IP
ADDRESS AND DNS FROM YOU.
 DNS More Than 100 Million Registered Domains and has 13
roots
 DNS can be pictured as an inverted hierarchical tree
structure with one root noed at the top and a maximum of
128 levels.
 The domain name space is divided into three sections: generic
domains, country domains, and inverse domain.
 The IP address is an only identifier that is applied to each
device connected to an IP network.
 The IP protocol (used nowadays) addresses consist of 4
numbers of 8 bits (an 8 bits number take a value from 0-255
range) that they use to be represented separated by points,
for example: 155.54.210.63.
IN YOUR OPINION, HOW CAN WE
IMPROVE THIS VIDEO?
 The font size should be bigger and the font color
should change.
 Should give the detail example
 That last part out about DNS spoofing. That could
be covered under a whole section on cyber
security, but it just sounds like FUD here, and it
could just lead to a lot of misinformation.
 The information about IP address and DNS more
detailed.
