DNS: Domain Name System
Internet hosts, routers:
– IP address (32 bit) - used for addressing datagrams
– “name”, e.g., ww.yahoo.com - used by humans
• Hostname to IP address translation
• Host aliasing (canonical hostname)
– A host with a complicated hostname can have one or more alias names, E.g.
relay1.west-coast.enterprise.com could have, say, two aliases such as
enterprise.com and www.enterprise.com. Alias hostnames, are typically
more mnemonic than a canonical hostname. DNS can be invoked by an
application to obtain the canonical hostname for a supplied alias hostname
as well as the IP address of the host.
• Mail server aliasing
– Similar to host aliasing, e.g. the canonical hostname for hotmail might be
something like relay1.west-coast.hotmail.com
• Load distribution
– Replicated Web servers: set of IP addresses for one canonical name. DNS
server responds with the entire set of IP addresses, but rotates the ordering
of the addresses within each reply.
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008

DNS: Domain Name System
• DNS uses a large number of name servers, organized in a
hierarchical fashion and distributed around the world.
• No one name server has all of the mappings for all of the
hosts in the Internet. Instead, the mappings are distributed
across the name servers.
• There are three types of name servers:
– local name servers,
– root name servers, and
– authoritative name servers.
Why not centralize DNS?

Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Local Name Server
• Each ISP (residential ISP, company, university)
has one.
– Also called “default name server”
• When a host makes a DNS query, query is sent
to its local DNS server
– The IP address of the local name server is typically
configured by hand in a host.
– If a host requests a translation for another host that is
part of the same local ISP, then the local name server
will be able to immediately provide the requested IP
address.
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Root Name Servers
• contacted by local name server that can not resolve name
• root name server:
– If the root name server has a record for the hostname, it
sends a DNS reply message to the local name server
– contacts authoritative name server if name mapping not
known, gets mapping and returns mapping to local name

servers worldwide
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Authoritative Servers
• The authoritative name server for a host is a name
server in the host's local ISP
• A name server is authoritative for a host if it always has a
DNS record that translates the host's hostname to that
host's IP address.
DNS: Caching and Updating Records
• once (any) name server learns mapping, it caches
mapping
– cache entries timeout (disappear) after some time
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008

Example

the host surf.eurecom.fr first sends a
DNS query message to its local name
server, dns.eurecom.fr. The hostname
to be translated, is gaia.cs.umass.edu.
The local name server forwards the
query message to a root name server
the root name server forwards a query
for a host with hostname ending with
umass.edu to the name server
dns.umass.edu.
This name server forwards all queries
with hostnames ending with
.cs.umass.edu to the name server
dns.cs.umass.edu, which is
authoritative for all hostnames ending
with .cs.umass.edu.
The authoritative name server sends
the desired mapping to the intermediate
name server, dns.umass.edu
And so on….

ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
DNS Query Types
recursive query:
• puts burden of name
resolution on
contacted name
server
iterated query:
• contacted server
replies with name of
server to contact
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
DNS Records
DNS: distributed db storing resource records (RR)
RR format: (name,
• Type=A
– name is hostname
– value is IP address
– e.g. (relay1.bar.foo.com,
145.37.93.126,A)
• Type=NS
– name is domain (e.g.
foo.com)
– value is IP address of
authoritative name server for
this domain
– e.g. (foo.com, dns.foo.com,
NS)
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
value, type, ttl)
• Type=CNAME
– name is alias name for some
“cannonical” (the real) name
www.ibm.com is really
servereast.backup2.ibm.com
– value is cannonical name
– e.g. (foo.com, relay1.bar.foo.com,
CNAME)
• Type=MX
– value is name of mail server
associated with name
– e.g. (foo.com. mail.bar.foo.com, MX)
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
DNS Protocol, Messages
DNS protocol : query and reply messages, both with same
message format
message header
• identification: 16 bit #
for query, reply to query
uses same #
• flags:
– query or reply (0/1)
– recursion desired
– recursion available
– reply is authoritative
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008

RRs in response

info that may be used
Programs for Exploring DNS
• There are various client programs available for exploring the contents of name
servers in the Internet, e.g. nslookup : allows to enter a hostname and they
return an IP address. Visit

Socket Programming
Goal: learn how to build client/server application that
communicate using sockets
Socket API
• introduced in BSD4.1
UNIX, 1981
• explicitly created, used,
released by applications
• client/server paradigm
• two types of transport
service via socket API:
socket
a host-local,
application-created,
OS-controlled interface
(a “door”) into which
application process can
both send and
receive messages to/from
another application
process
– unreliable datagram
– reliable, byte stream-oriented
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Socket-Programming using TCP
Socket: a door between application process and
end-end-transport protocol (UCP or TCP)
TCP service: reliable transfer of bytes from one
process to another

ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Socket Programming with TCP
Client must contact server
• server process must first be
running
• server must have created
socket (door) that welcomes
client’s contact
Client contacts server by:
• creating client-local TCP
socket
• specifying IP address, port
number of server process
• When client creates socket:
client TCP establishes
connection to server TCP
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
• When contacted by client,
server TCP creates new
socket for server process to
communicate with client
– allows server to talk with
multiple clients
– source port numbers used
to distinguish clients
application viewpoint
TCP provides reliable, in-order
transfer of bytes (“pipe”)
between client and server
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Stream Jargon
• A stream is a sequence of characters that flow into or out
of a process.
• An input stream is attached to some input source for the
process, e.g., keyboard or socket.
• An output stream is attached to an output source, e.g.,
monitor or socket.

outToServer
1) client reads line from
standard input
(inFromUser stream) ,
sends to server via
socket (outToServer
stream)
2) server reads line from
socket
3) server converts line to
uppercase, sends back to
client
4) client reads, prints
modified line from socket
(inFromServer stream)

• Socket programming with UDP
• Building a Web server
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Socket Programming with UDP
UDP: no “connection” between client and server
• no handshaking
• sender explicitly attaches IP address and port of
destination to each packet
• server must extract IP address, port of sender from
received packet
UDP: transmitted data may be received out of order, or lost
application viewpoint
UDP provides unreliable transfer
of groups of bytes (“datagrams”)
between client and server
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Client/Server Socket Interaction: UDP
Server (running on hostid)
