DNS Resolution Journey

Step 1 of X
What is DNS?
The Domain Name System translates human-readable names (example.com) into computer-readable IP addresses (192.0.2.1).
Model Notes:
  • Most recursive resolvers run iteratively (they query Root -> TLD -> Auth directly).
  • Caching occurs at every level driven by TTL (Time To Live).
  • Draggable Components: Drag any node's title bar! The connectors and active animations dynamically update to follow moving boundaries.
