Võrguteenuseid

Võrguteenused, often translated as network services, encompass a broad range of functionalities that enable communication and data exchange between devices over a network. These services are fundamental to modern computing and the internet, facilitating everything from simple file sharing to complex cloud-based applications. They can be broadly categorized into two main types: infrastructure services and application services.

Infrastructure services provide the underlying mechanisms for network operation. This includes services like Domain Name System (DNS), which translates human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices. Network Address Translation (NAT) is another key infrastructure service, allowing multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address.

Application services are built upon these infrastructure services and deliver specific functionalities to users. Examples include email services, web hosting services, file transfer protocols (FTP), and remote access services like Secure Shell (SSH). Cloud computing platforms heavily rely on a vast array of network services to deliver their offerings, enabling users to access resources and applications remotely. The reliable and secure operation of these services is critical for the functionality of the internet and for businesses and individuals alike.
