DNS: Brave new worlds Tim Deegan tim.deegan@cl.cam.ac.uk HEAnet conference November 2005
Academic ideas on the future of the DNS: • Fixing current/future problems – with science! • Changes to the architecture of the DNS. • Keeping the clients and the protocol. • Not: • IETF work: DNSSEC, EDNS*, new types. • Non-DNS name services: Active Names et al. • DNS measurement.
The DNS: boxes and arrows ie root þ ? þ dcu.ie
1. Distribute! þ þ þ þ þ dcu.ie þ ?
2. Peer-to-peer! þ ?
3. Centralize! þ þ þ ?
In summary Three possible new directions for the DNS • Distribute: copy everything everywhere • P2P: shuffle everything around • Centralize: move the complexity Will we see any of this? Up to you…
