What is DNS name?

The Domain Name System or DNS is the Internet directory. Usually, we enter the website address like bsnltariff.com or Google.com.com, but the web browser requires an IP address of the site.

DNS converts the domain name to an IP address so that the browser can load the web page. The DNS request is first sent to the Recursive Name Server (RNS), which is normally managed by the ISP.

If RNS does not have the IP address of the website you are trying to access already stored, it goes through the process of retrieving the IP address.

Once the IP address is retrieved, it is sent back to RNS and then to the browser.

What is Anycast DNS Service?

Unlike the normal unicast DNS network, where a single IP is assigned to the single DNS server, in Anycast DNS, the same IP address is assigned to multiple DNS servers. In Anycast DNS, any of the DNS servers can respond to DNS queries and generally connect to the nearest DNS server, reducing latency.

Anycast DNS also prevents DDoS flood DNS attacks and improves DNS resolution. In both cases, if a DNS server is offline, DNS queries will be answered by other DNS servers on the same network.
