DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is an application layer protocol. DNS is a distributed Internet directory service. A network of DNS servers respond to requests to translate between domain names (such as dmoz.org) and IP, Internet Protocol, numeric addresses (such as 207.200.81.139) for URLs and email delivery.
