RFC 1034 (DNS)

RFC 1034 is the foundational document that describes the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates human-readable website addresses (like www.example.com) into the numerical IP addresses computers use to identify each other on the internet. It explains how DNS servers work together in a hierarchical structure to store, organize, and retrieve these mappings efficiently. This system allows users to access websites easily without needing to remember complex numbers, enabling smooth and reliable internet navigation. Overall, RFC 1034 details the standards and principles that make DNS a critical component of internet functionality.
