                                      Question 1.<\/span> Why is Internet called \u2018Network of Networks\u2019?<\/strong>
                                      \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      • Internet is called \u2018Network of Networks\u2019 because it is global network of computers that are linked together by cables and telephone lines making communication possible among them. It can be defined as a global network over a million of smaller heterogeneous computer networks.<\/li>\n
                                      • The network which consists of thousands of networks spanning the entire globe is known as Internet.<\/li>\n
                                      • The Internet is a world wide collection of networked computers, which are able to exchange information with each other very quickly.<\/li>\n
                                      • Mostly people use the Internet in two ways, E-mail and World Wide Web. In Internet, most computers are not connected directly, they are connected to smaller networks, which in turn are connected through gateways to the Internet backbone.<\/li>\n
                                      • A gateway is a device that connects dissimilar networks. A backbone is central interconnecting structure that connects one or more networks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                        \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span> DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services or any resources connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.
                                        \nThe different functions of DNS are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                          \n
                                        • It translates meaningful domain names into the numerical IP addresses, which is needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices world wide.<\/li>\n
                                        • It serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human friendly computer host names into IP addresses.<\/li>\n
                                        • The DNS can be quickly updated, allowing a service\u2019s location on the network to change without affecting the end users.<\/li>\n
                                        • It distributes the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to IP addresses by designating authoritative names servers for each domain.<\/li>\n
                                        • It also specifies the technical functionality of database service. It defines the DNS protocol, a detailed specification of the data structure and data communication exchanges used in DNS, as part of the Internet Protocol Suite (IPS).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                          Question 3.<\/span> Give an example of E-mail address and explain each part of it.<\/strong>
                                          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span> The example of an E-mail address is abc@gmail.com.
                                          \nThe format of E-mail address is username@hostname or domain name. So, as per the above example of E-mail address abc is the username and gmail.com is the name of hosting server or host (domain) name. Thus, we can say that E-mail address has two parts separated by symbol.<\/p>\n

                                            \n
                                          1. Username:<\/strong> On the left side of separator @ is the user name. A user name cannot have blanks.<\/li>\n
                                          2. Domain name for the host server:<\/strong> The portion to the right of @ identifies the server or host network that services your E-mail. It is also known as E-mail server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
