What is AAAA record?
In the [[Domain Name System]], an '''AAAA record''' is something that changes a [[domain name]] into a 128-[[bit]] [[IP address]] (or ''IPv6 address''). A domain can have many AAAA records, for example, the domain ''example.com'' could have an AAAA record for ''www.example.com'' that [[point]]s to the IP ''2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652'', and another AAAA record for ''mail.example.com'' that points to the IP ''2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9653''. ==Related pages== *[[A record]] *[[MX record]] ==Other websites== *[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035 The domain name RFC] [[Category:Internet protocols]] {{tech-stub}}
