Can somebody explain what does this mean? Explanation to each line will be helpful. I have mentioned some of my queries in comments too.

  1. 127.0.0.1 localhost //According to @Dave, it's machine ip.
  2. 127.0.1.1 dell-Inspiron-342 // then what is this ip of?

    The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

  3. ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
  4. fe00::0 ip6-localnet
  5. ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
  6. ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
  7. ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
