An SRV record, or Service Record, is a type of DNS (Domain Name System) record that is used to identify servers that host specific services, such as VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), instant messaging, and other communication services. It specifies the hostname and port number for these services, enabling the service to be located and accessed. SRV records are essential for the operation of certain protocols and services, helping direct internet traffic to the correct server and port for specific services provided by a domain.
