DNS (Domain Name System)
A name resolution service in the TCP/IP net-
work. According to DNS, computer names and
domain names are registered in the domain
name server and the domain name service is
offered. By using the domain name service, a
user can specify a target site with an easy-to-
understand domain name or host name instead
of an IP address which consists of numerical
character string only.
Domain Name
The IP address is not easy to understand be-
cause it consists of numerical character string
only. So, a domain name is used. The domain
name shows a group to which the IP address
belongs. For example, the domain name of an
e-mail address "icom@bbb.co.jp" is "bbb.co.jp".
ESS-ID (Extended Service Set-IDentifier)
A name for identification to create several net-
work groups in a communication area in a wire-
less LAN. In the wireless network group which
