Domain Name System Wireshark. 20 2007 JF. As described in Section 25 of the textbook the Domain Name System DNS translates hostnames to IP addresses fulfilling a critical role in the Internet infrastructure.
In computer networking the multicast DNS protocol resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server. You will use Wireshark to examine the DNS query and response exchanges with the same server. DNS queries and responses are very small and do not require the overhead of TCP.
