I-root
Since 2000, Netnod has operated i.root-servers.net, one of the 13 logical Internet DNS root name servers. The I-root service is provided by a set of distributed nodes using IPv4 and IPv6 anycast. There are currently more than 70 nodes distributed across the world.
Netnod y LACNIC han firmado un Memorando de Entendimiento (MOU) en relación con el despliegue de servidores de nombres para el sistema de nombres de dominio en la región de LACNIC.
Netnod and LACNIC have signed an MOU related to deployment of nameservers for the Domain Name System in the LACNIC region.
Early last year, the US government’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) made an historic announcement: it intends to cease its role as the oversight body for the Internet naming and numbering functions managed by IANA. But making history can take a lot of time and effort, and the task of replacing NTIA’s role is complex and politically sensitive.
Netnod re-affirms its commitment to the Internet community, to operate i.root-servers.net in a stable manner, independent of any future changes to the IANA stewardship.
The US government has announced it plans to hand over its IANA oversight role to the global multistakeholder community. What does this mean for the DNS and the bigger picture of Internet governance. Where does Netnod stand? And what does this mean for the root servers?
TESPOK and Netnod have today announced that an instance of i.root- servers.net will be installed in one of TESPOK’s data centres.
ADC and Netnod have announced that an instance of i.root-servers.net has been installed in one of ADC’s data centres. This is the first DNS root server in Armenia, which will contribute to the reliability and redundancy in DNS services to Internet users in Armenia and surrounding regions.
Today, Thursday 2011-02-24, starting at 1200 UTC, work will commence to decommission i.root-servers.net as one of the authoritative servers for in-addr.arpa, the international entry point for the part of the DNS database that translates IPv4 addresses to host names.
