Infrastructure of IP based networks = hardware and software components
|
Current DNS system = naming tool available for networks other than the Internet
|
In the 90's, another approach to competition =
alternative DNS roots
|
Requests for Comments (RFCs) managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) , RFC 2929 => classes. IN, CH, HS classes and 256 classes for "private use" the other 65,000 classes not yet assigned, may be assigned by "IETF consensus". If IETF were to decide to block classes assignments ? => Questions : IETF , whose governance sphere = the Internet, entitled to assign classes ?. Under international public law, governance and arbitrage between networks => responsibility of ITU ? |
For a class to be usable in practice, => DNS clients or "resolvers"
as well as servers must comply fully with RFC 2929
|
Suggested syntax = class% placed in front of the domain name. Eg: class 4d (corresponding to Net4D) , CT class (corresponding to the Cyrillic network Сеть => URLs: http://4d%fr.wikipedia.open http://ст%Москва.ро . In current browsers, no need to type http:// => typing ст%Москва.ро suffices. a person writing only Cyrillic, => class CT = class by default => need only type Москва.ро, without any ASCII letters. |
The semantic web, = metadata and logic languages schemes (ontologies)
|
DNS security, => decentralized security systems / each class => commercial competition and political independence . |
Experiments at the level of a country, a region, a city, using one of the 256 classes for private use. In the experimental zone, implementation of classes ensured in : 1) all DNS servers of all major ISPs operating in the area ; 2) servers and DNS clients, servers and other web applications; 3) servers and DNS clients, servers and other web applications, of authorities, associations as well as individuals operating in the area : 4) DNS clients and browsers of users participating in the experiment . |
Naming services are key components of the software infrastructure of IP based network.
