<title>A Brief History of the <acronym>DNS</acronym> and <acronym>BIND</acronym></title>
<para>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 <acronym>DNS</acronym> implementations are
built.
</para>
<para>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 <acronym>DNS</acronym> server for Unix machines, the Berkeley Internet
Name Domain (<acronym>BIND</acronym>) 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 <acronym>BIND</acronym> 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 <acronym>BIND</acronym>
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 <acronym>BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym>BIND</acronym> development
during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot Carl-Mitchell,
Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym>BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
handled by Mike Karels and O. Kure.</para>
<para><acronym>BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were released by Digital Equipment
Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
a DEC employee, became <acronym>BIND</acronym>'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.</para>
<para><acronym>BIND</acronym> Version 4.9.2 was sponsored by Vixie Enterprises. Paul
Vixie became <acronym>BIND</acronym>'s principal architect/programmer.</para>
<para><acronym>BIND</acronym> 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 <acronym>BIND</acronym> version
8 in May 1997.</para>
<para><acronym>BIND</acronym> development work is made possible today by the sponsorship
of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of numerous
individuals.</para>

<title>IPv6 addresses (A6)</title>
<para>IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and
sets of interfaces which were introduced in the <acronym>DNS</acronym> to facilitate
scalable Internet routing. There are three types of addresses: <emphasis>Unicast</emphasis>,
an identifier for a single interface; <emphasis>Anycast</emphasis>,
an identifier for a set of interfaces; and <emphasis>Multicast</emphasis>,
an identifier for a set of interfaces. Here we describe the global
Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 2374.</para>
<para>The aggregatable global Unicast address format is as follows:</para>

<para>The <emphasis>Public Topology</emphasis> is provided by the
upstream provider or ISP, and (roughly) corresponds to the IPv4 <emphasis>network</emphasis> section
of the address range. The <emphasis>Site Topology</emphasis> is
where you can subnet this space, much the same as subnetting an
IPv4 /16 network into /24 subnets. The <emphasis>Interface Identifier</emphasis> is
the address of an individual interface on a given network. (With
IPv6, addresses belong to interfaces rather than machines.)</para>
<para>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).</para>
<para>The internal structure of the Public Topology for an A6 global
unicast address consists of:</para>
<informaltable colsep = "0" rowsep = "0"><tgroup cols = "4"
colsep = "0" rowsep = "0" tgroupstyle = "2Level-table">

<para>A 3 bit FP (Format Prefix) of 001 indicates this is a global
Unicast address. FP lengths for other types of addresses may vary.</para>
<para>13 TLA (Top Level Aggregator) bits give the prefix of your
top-level IP backbone carrier.</para>
<para>8 Reserved bits</para>
<para>24 bits for Next Level Aggregators. This allows organizations
with a TLA to hand out portions of their IP space to client organizations,
so that the client can then split up the network further by filling
in more NLA bits, and hand out IPv6 prefixes to their clients, and
so forth.</para>
<para>There is no particular structure for the Site topology section.
Organizations can allocate these bits in any way they desire.</para>
<para>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:</para>
<para><command>3ffe:8050:201:9:a00:20ff:fe81:2b32</command></para>
<para>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.</para>

<para>Internet Drafts (IDs) are rough-draft working documents of
the Internet Engineering Task Force. They are, in essence, RFCs
in the preliminary stages of development. Implementors are cautioned not
to regard IDs as archival, and they should not be quoted or cited
in any formal documents unless accompanied by the disclaimer that
they are "works in progress." IDs have a lifespan of six months
after which they are deleted unless updated by their authors.
