4.3 DDNS

Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name
System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider

session on the Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to
remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS
provider allocates a static host name to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP address
this is communicated to the DDNS provider by software running on a computer or network device
at that address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and the address to
the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted access to
