Hello /g/, whats'up? Hope it's gittin gud for every gentooman out there. I have a question for you. How does the internet works? And more precisely, how does DNS works? I mean, what they do is converting www.trapdownmyass.com in 69.69.69.69:80 basically, right?
But how do they process this?
If you guys could suggest me even some book about how networks works i'll appreciate that. Thanks guys.

Why degenerate? The traps thing was a joke, Pedro.
Many people here are studying CS or CE, they probably can help me with a good book that is (at least for them) the best to read, i don't mind googling to understand things, i just want to know where to start

Look up DNS tables. Everything you want to know is already out there.

It's basically done in tiers.
Your local ISP has a DNS server. When you enter a URL in your web browser, a DNS request will be sent to your ISP's server. If that server has the correspoding IP address it will send it back to you.
If your ISP don't, then your ISP will usually forward your request to a "bigger" DNS server at a higher tier, and on it goes until you reach some type of backbone-ish DNS-server which should have basically ALL information about URL-IP address pairs in some huge database.
There is more nuance to it, and more correct terminology but that is the gist of it.
