Domain Name System (DNS) should keep track of address of each computer or any other internet device and email addresses. The name servers translate the web address or email address to respective IP address. This means that DNS maps an IP address to a name that can be accessed by this name over the network.
Network masking is used to define the group of computer that belongs particular IP classes.
