Each device, connected to the internet have unique IP address, like 192.168.1.1 (IPv4) or 2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888 (IPv6), which help to identify device on a network. For humans is hard to memorize all these sequences of numbers and in this case helps DNS, which translates human readable webpage names, e.g., google.com, to computer friendly IP addresses. | Each device, connected to the internet have unique IP address, like 192.168.1.1 (IPv4) or 2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888 (IPv6), which help to identify device on a network.
