Our tiny country is a frontrunner for the adoption of the new Internet protocol IPv6: in July, 37.3% of all Internet traffic in our country went through IPv6. But what exactly is IPv6, and what is it used for?

Nearly every country has an organisation for the technical management of domain names with specific extensions (such as .be, .fr, .nl etc.). Such an organisation is known as ‘registry’ in the jargon. As the task of such a registry sounds rather vague, we provide a word of explanation.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system whereby domain names are converted to IP addresses.

You see them sometimes when you are searching on the Internet: websites with addresses that end in a non-standard extension, such as domain name .gb.com or domain name.se.com.
