Certainly, here's a brief overview of each of the protocols and services you've mentioned:

1. **HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol):** A protocol used for transmitting hypermedia documents,
such as web pages, between clients and servers on the World Wide Web.

2. **SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):** An Internet standard for email transmission that
enables the sending and receiving of email messages.

3. **Telnet:** A network protocol that provides a bidirectional interactive text-oriented


communication facility, allowing a user to connect to and control a remote computer.

4. **FTP (File Transfer Protocol):** A standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer
files between a client and a server on a computer network.

5. **DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):** A network management protocol used to assign
IP addresses and other network configuration parameters dynamically to devices on a network.

6. **DNS (Domain Name System):** A hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers,
services, or other resources connected to the internet or a private network.

In terms of the types of name servers, they include:

- **Authoritative Name Servers:** These servers provide definitive answers to DNS queries about the
domain names in their zones.
- **Recursive Name Servers:** These servers perform the iterative process of discovering the IP
address associated with a domain name by querying other name servers.

- **Root Name Servers:** These servers are the first step in translating human-readable hostnames
into IP addresses, playing a critical role in the overall DNS infrastructure.
