We browse the Internet. We host our applications on a server or a cloud that is hooked up with a nice domain name. That’s all there is to know about DNS, right? This talk is a refresher about how DNS works. How we can use it and how it can affect availability of our applications. How we can use it as a means of configuring our application components. How this old geezer protocol is a resilient, distributed system that is used by every Internet user in the world. How we can use it for things that it wasn’t built for. Come join me on this journey through the innards of the web!
This is an introductory presentation regarding the issues in designing a campus network infrastructure. Unlike theoretical approaches, this presentation actually was used to describe some of the real configurations performed by Server Administrators and Network Managers. This is for an introductory audience with very little background in computer networks assumed.
If you have an electric lamp, you can plug it anywhere in electric socket and it is expected to work. Could we think the same way for computers? Could we connect our laptop to any Network and make use of the devices available on that network including printer, scanner etc. The answer is YES, we can do it with help of Zero Configuration networking. Zero Configuration networking is a set of protocols which are used together to make devices talk to each other on the same Network, without any DHCP or DNS server. This is has numerous applications including Wake-on-Lan services. In 1980’s, AppleTalk was handling this scenario for Macs which are connected together with LocalTalk cabling. Later on, it was extended to AppleTalk over Ethernet. Currently we have several implementations of Zero Configuration Networking including Apple’s Bonjour, Windows LLMNR, Avahi, Presto etc.
