>Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
883. 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

>IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and

an identifier for a set of interfaces; and <I

Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 2374.</P
