Default Route
A default route is a route that is suitable for every destination address. In
other words, the route can be used for every destination address. The
de-
fault route
has the lowest priority and is only used if no other routes are
suitable. Essentially, a route specifies the path that the two packets should
or can travel for transport within the network. The
default route
is used if
a path is not prescribed or known.

in which the IP addresses are assigned host names.
Domain
A domain is a logical association of computers and can be split into subdo-
mains. DNS servers are used for resolving domain names. An example of
a domain name is www.microsoft.com. Here, . stands for the ROOT of the

microsoft

company, and
www
