What You Need To Know About The 3 Redirection Mechanisms

By Tommie Newman


In the lives of people today, when technology is a part of everyday chores, the computer has become a vital part of their work. This machine enables work to be accomplished fast and easy. Although it has numerous purposes, one of its main roles is to aid in communication. To accomplish this, it uses the 3 redirection mechanisms.

HTTP, TCP, and DNS are the three mechanisms. These are used with the help of you internet connection to enable data transfer. Their functions are more or less the same although their processes are different.

Hypertext transfer protocol, commonly known as HTTP, is one of them. This is utilized to transfer the necessary data to a client from a server. This is widely used especially during research or when people are searching for materials in the internet.

This allocates a certain address of a specific data to the universal resource locators commonly known as the URL. The internal and web servers are familiar with this addresses. These are the ones that is typed in the browser to open a specific site that will retrieve the data from the servers.

TCP or the transport communication protocol is another type of mechanism. It relays data between different computers which belong to a single network or connected to a single server. To be able to relay the information, it will be divided into several segments which will only be assembled if it is complete in the recipient.

Lastly, is the DNS or the domain name system. Its task is to translate IP addresses to machine language. This process can be done the other way by translating machine language to IP addresses. It is possible to perform this because there are many DNS servers stocked all around the world.

the 3 redirection mechanisms each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although all of them are used by people, it is still the DNS that is widely preferred. This can be attributed to the ease of which it can be monitored and to the efficiency of its delivery.
