  2. Reverse domain name notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_domain_name_notation

    Reverse-DNS strings are based on registered domain names, with the order of the components reversed for grouping purposes. For example, if a company making the product "MyProduct" has the domain name example.com, they could use the reverse-DNS string com.example.MyProduct as an identifier for that product.

  3. Name resolution (computer systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_resolution_(computer...

    Examples include the Domain Name System (DNS), Network Information Service and Multicast DNS (mDNS). IP addresses for devices on the local segment can in turn be resolved to MAC addresses by invoking the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

  4. NAPTR record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAPTR_record

    NAPTR records are most commonly used for applications in Internet telephony, for example, in the mapping of servers and user addresses in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The combination of NAPTR records with Service Records (SRV) allows the chaining of multiple records to form complex rewrite rules which produce new domain labels or ...

  5. Direct numerical simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_simulation

    Therefore, the computational cost of DNS is very high, even at low Reynolds numbers. For the Reynolds numbers encountered in most industrial applications, the computational resources required by a DNS would exceed the capacity of the most powerful computers currently available. However, direct numerical simulation is a useful tool in ...

  6. Public recursive name server - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_recursive_name_server

    A public recursive name server (also called public DNS resolver) is a name server service that networked computers may use to query the Domain Name System (DNS), the decentralized Internet naming system, in place of (or in addition to) name servers operated by the local Internet service provider (ISP) to which the devices are connected. Reasons ...

  7. Search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_algorithm

    Specific applications of search algorithms include: Problems in combinatorial optimization, such as: . The vehicle routing problem, a form of shortest path problem; The knapsack problem: Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as ...

  8. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

    Users type in domain names, such as example.org, which the computer's DNS software looks up in the DNS databases to retrieve an IP address, and then hands off that address to the protocol stack for further communications. [5] Looking up an address using DNS requires the IP address of the DNS server to be known.

  9. Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Auto-Discovery...

    The Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) Protocol is a method used by clients to locate the URL of a configuration file using DHCP and/or DNS discovery methods. Once detection and download of the configuration file is complete, it can be executed to determine the proxy for a specified URL.
