From 1984 to 1987, the ARPAnet (the precursor to today's Internet) became a testbed of experimentation for developing the new naming/addressing scheme in an rapidly expanding, operational network environment. New RFCs were written and published in 1987 that modified the original documents to incorporate improvements based on the working model. RFC 1034, "Domain Names-Concepts and Facilities", and RFC 1035, "Domain Names-Implementation and Specification" were published and became the standards upon which all <span class="acronym">DNS</span> implementations are built. </p> <p>The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC Tops-20 machines located at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and SRI International's Network Information Center (SRI-NIC). A <span class="acronym">DNS</span> server for Unix machines, the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (<span class="acronym">BIND</span>) package, was written soon after by a group of graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley under a grant from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA). Versions of <span class="acronym">BIND</span> through 4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <span class="acronym">BIND</span> project team. After that, additional work on the software package was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment Corporation employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <span class="acronym">BIND</span> for 2 years, from 1985 to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <span class="acronym">BIND</span> development during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot Carl-Mitchell, Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <span class="acronym">BIND</span> maintenance was subsequently handled by Mike Karels and O. Kure.</p> <p><span class="acronym">BIND</span> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were released by Digital Equipment Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then a DEC employee, became <span class="acronym">BIND</span>'s primary caretaker. Paul was assisted by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan Beecher, Andrew Partan, Andy Cherenson, Tom Limoncelli, Berthold Paffrath, Fuat Baran, Anant Kumar, Art Harkin, Win Treese, Don Lewis, Christophe Wolfhugel, and others.</p> <p><span class="acronym">BIND</span> Version 4.9.2 was sponsored by Vixie Enterprises. Paul Vixie became <span class="acronym">BIND</span>'s principal architect/programmer.</p> <p><span class="acronym">BIND</span> versions from 4.9.3 onward have been developed and maintained by the Internet Software Consortium with support being provided by ISC's sponsors. As co-architects/programmers, Bob Halley and Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of <span class="acronym">BIND</span> version 8 in May 1997.</p> <p><span class="acronym">BIND</span> development work is made possible today by the sponsorship of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of numerous individuals.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect1" lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"> <a name="historical_dns_information"></a>General <span class="acronym">DNS</span> Reference Information</h2></div></div></div> <div class="sect2" lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> <a name="ipv6addresses"></a>IPv6 addresses (AAAA)</h3></div></div></div> <p>IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and sets of interfaces which were introduced in the <span class="acronym">DNS</span> to facilitate scalable Internet routing. There are three types of addresses: <span class="emphasis"><em>Unicast</em></span>, an identifier for a single interface; <span class="emphasis"><em>Anycast</em></span>, an identifier for a set of interfaces; and <span class="emphasis"><em>Multicast</em></span>, an identifier for a set of interfaces. Here we describe the global Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 2374.</p> <p>The aggregatable global Unicast address format is as follows:</p> <div class="informaltable"><table border="1"> <colgroup> <col> <col> <col> <col> <col> <col> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td><p>3</p></td> <td><p>13</p></td> <td><p>8</p></td> <td><p>24</p></td> <td><p>16</p></td> <td><p>64 bits</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>FP</p></td> <td><p>TLA ID</p></td> <td><p>RES</p></td> <td><p>NLA ID</p></td> <td><p>SLA ID</p></td> <td><p>Interface ID</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"><p><------ Public Topology ------></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p><-Site Topology-></p></td> <td><p></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p></p></td> <td><p><------ Interface Identifier ------></p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p>Where </p> <div class="informaltable"><table border="1"> <colgroup> <col> <col> <col> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td><p>FP</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Format Prefix (001)</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>TLA ID</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Top-Level Aggregation Identifier</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>RES</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Reserved for future use</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>NLA ID</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Next-Level Aggregation Identifier</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>SLA ID</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Site-Level Aggregation Identifier</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>INTERFACE ID</p></td> <td><p>=</p></td> <td><p>Interface Identifier</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p>The <span class="emphasis"><em>Public Topology</em></span> is provided by the upstream provider or ISP, and (roughly) corresponds to the IPv4 <span class="emphasis"><em>network</em></span> section of the address range. The <span class="emphasis"><em>Site Topology</em></span> is where you can subnet this space, much the same as subnetting an IPv4 /16 network into /24 subnets. The <span class="emphasis"><em>Interface Identifier</em></span> is the address of an individual interface on a given network. (With IPv6, addresses belong to interfaces rather than machines.)</p> <p>The subnetting capability of IPv6 is much more flexible than that of IPv4: subnetting can now be carried out on bit boundaries, in much the same way as Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR).</p> <p>The Interface Identifier must be unique on that network. On ethernet networks, one way to ensure this is to set the address to the first three bytes of the hardware address, "FFFE", then the last three bytes of the hardware address. The lowest significant bit of the first byte should then be complemented. Addresses are written as 32-bit blocks separated with a colon, and leading zeros of a block may be omitted, for example:</p> <p><span><strong class="command">2001:db8:201:9:a00:20ff:fe81:2b32</strong></span></p> <p>IPv6 address specifications are likely to contain long strings of zeros, so the architects have included a shorthand for specifying them. The double colon (`::') indicates the longest possible string of zeros that can fit, and can be used only once in an address.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect1" lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"> <a name="bibliography"></a>Bibliography (and Suggested Reading)</h2></div></div></div> <div class="sect2" lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> <a name="rfcs"></a>Request for Comments (RFCs)</h3></div></div></div> <p>Specification documents for the Internet protocol suite, including the <span class="acronym">DNS</span>, are published as part of the Request for Comments (RFCs) series of technical notes.
