Abstract
The number of interconnected computers is growing day by day. It is possible to design a hierarchical network addressing schema that assigns network addresses according to a computer’s physical location, but even in this case, it will always be easier to refer to computers by using names instead of IP addresses. A local DNS (Domain Name System) server will allow us to establish a direct relationship between a computer name and an IP address, which, in turn, will make it much easier to identify a local machine.
