DNS

Domain Name System
DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or 

Domain names

, which are 

easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each 

LAN

 with 

an 

Internet

 connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the browser 

obtains the corresponding IP address from the DNS server so that it can establish the 
connection.
On the Internet. the assignment of domain names to IP addresses is based on a hierar-
chical system. A local PC only knows the address of the local name server. This in turn 
knows all the addresses of the PCs in the local network and the next higher name 
servers, which again know addresses and the next higher name servers. 

DNS server

See 

DNS

Domain name

The domain name is the reference to one or more Web servers on the 

Internet

, e.g. 

gigaset.com. The domain name is mapped to the respective 

IP address

 via the 

DNS

 serv-

ice.

DoS attack

Denial of Service
A DoS attack is a particular form of hacker attack directed at computers and networks 
with a connection to the 

Internet

. The aim is not so much to steal data but to paralyse 

the computer or network so severely that the network resources are no longer available. 
A typical hacker attack involves a remote computer claiming that it is acting on behalf 
of a paralysed computer, for example, and receiving the data intended for you.

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line
DSL is a data transmission technology in which a connection to the 

Internet

 can be run 

over normal telephone lines. A DSL connection is supplied by an 

Internet Provider

. It 

requires a DSL modem.

DTIM

Delivery Traffic Indication Message
A DTIM is a signal that is sent by an access point as part of a 

Beacon

 to a client device in 

power-saving mode to indicate that a data packet is ready for delivery. The DTIM interval 
defines the frequency with which a DTIM appears in a series of beacon packets.
