Therefore, January 21 spread the country's vigorous network paralysis, so that people can not be micro-bo, not open the mailbox, can not brush Taobao, can not see the video, really is life as dead!

Who is behind all this? A thing called DNS came to everyone. According to a number of DNS service providers, the country all the common top-level domain root server anomalies, resulting in most of the domestic users can not correctly resolve the domain name, a large number of well-known web sites can not open, affecting tens of millions of of netizens.

The light element, DNS in the end is where the holy, what must kill stunt, will let me big celestial network so fragile?

What is DNS?

DNS is the abbreviation of domain Name System, is a core service of the Internet, it is a distributed database that can map domain name and IP address to each other, it can make people access the Internet more conveniently, without remembering the IP string that can be read directly by machine.

Do you understand the above #@￥%......&? Good, witty little weave to explain in plain language.

For example, as a failure in English learning slag, small series if you want to understand the "hello" how to do it, it is necessary to help Google translation is "Hello".
