Solution

The Domain Name System (DNS) is considered for mapping IP addresses to Domain Names. Here are the steps:

  1. When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer first looks up the IP address for that domain name in its local DNS cache, which stores information that your computer has recently received.

  2. If the IP address is not in the local cache, your computer queries your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DNS server.

  3. If the ISP's DNS server does not have the information, it sends a request to the DNS servers responsible for the top-level domain (for example, .com, .org, .net).

  4. These servers do not store IP address information but know where to direct the query; they direct the query to the DNS servers responsible for the second-level domain (for example, google in google.com).

  5. The DNS servers for the second-level domain have the information and respond to your ISP's DNS server with the IP address for the domain name you requested.

  6. Your ISP's DNS server sends this information to your computer, which stores the information in its local DNS cache for future queries and uses the IP address to route your request to the appropriate server.

  7. The server with this IP address sends the webpage you requested back to your computer, which displays it in your browser.
