Services related to Internet Protocol

A Domain Name Service (DNS) translates queries for domain names, which identify network resources that are meaningful to people, into Internet Protocol (IP) address, which are meaningful to computers. For example, the domain name www.uoguelph.ca translates to the IP address 131.104.93.93

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for devices on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Each device must have a unique IP address on the network and DHCP was established to relieve the administrative burden of assigning and maintaining IP address information for the devices.
