Default Route

A default route is a route that is suitable for every destination address. In other words, the route can be used for every destination address. The de- fault route has the lowest priority and is only used if no other routes are suitable. Essentially, a route specifies the path that the two packets should or can travel for transport within the network. The default route is used if a path is not prescribed or known.

DHCP

Dynamic assignment of IP addresses for subscribers in an IP network us- ing a central DHCP server.

Dial Plan

Contains a dial plan which can be used to determine when a call number is complete.

DNS

Abbreviation of "Domain Name Service."

The DNS service converts an alphanumeric name query (for example alp.dillingen.de) into an IP address.

Large InterNIC primary name servers and the national registration centers (for example: DE-NIC for Germany) have database servers for this purpose, in which the IP addresses are assigned host names.

Domain

A domain is a logical association of computers and can be split into subdo- mains. DNS servers are used for resolving domain names. An example of a domain name is www.microsoft.com. Here, . stands for the ROOT of the DNS server, com for the commercial top-level domain,microsoft for the company, and www for the server area. Domain names are resolved from right to left.
