Notes from DNS OARC 42

The DNS Operations, Analysis, and Research Center (DNS-OARC) brings together DNS service operators, DNS software implementors, and researchers to share concerns and information, and learn about the operation and evolution of the DNS. They meet two to three times a year in a workshop format. The most recent workshop was held in Charlotte, North Carolina in early February 2024. Here are my thoughts on the material that was presented and discussed at this workshop. ... The ‘how’ of doing this augmented form of DNS delegation is well underway, and while there may be more in the way of IETF ruminations in the coming months, I would hazard the personal opinion that there is little that will substantively change from this basic structure. View my description of the DELEG record.

Google Updates Rel=Canonical Documentation

... Google’s documentation has always referenced RFC 5988 as the standard Google uses for how it uses the link relation canonical. The RFC is a standard published by the IETF that defines specifications for various Internet and networking technologies, in this case the standards related to HTML rel link attribute.

Un necesario RFC sobre BGP: AS Path Prepending [A necessary RFC on BGP: AS Path Prepending]

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) desempeña un papel fundamental en la construcción y mantenimiento de las tablas de enrutamiento en Internet, a tal punto que es considerado como el “pegamento” de Internet. En este contexto, una técnica de muchos años atrás y ampliamente popular conocida como “AS Path Prepending” se ha concebido como una estrategia clave para influir en la selección de rutas y la optimización del tráfico tanto entrante como saliente de un AS. En el presente documento navegaremos a través del draft IETF “AS Path Prepending”, el cual recoge varias ideas y conceptos muy valiosos para la comunidad.

CableLabs Co-Chairs New M3AAWG AI Anti-Abuse Committee

The sudden rise of highly capable artificial intelligence (AI) has brought immense opportunities for beneficial innovation and advancement. However, alongside its benefits, AI also presents unique challenges concerning online abuse and threats to security and privacy. Recognizing the urgency of addressing these issues, the Messaging, Malware, and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG) has taken a proactive stance by forming a dedicated AI Anti-Abuse Committee. The M3AAWG AI Anti-Abuse Committee, co-chaired by CableLabs, underscores M3AAWG’s commitment to fostering a safer and more secure online environment for users worldwide.

Diamond quantum memory with Germanium vacancy exceeds coherence time of 20 ms

The color centers of diamond are the focus of an increasing number of research studies, due to their potential for developing quantum technologies. Some works have particularly explored the use of negatively-charged group-IV diamond defects, which exhibit an efficient spin-photon interface, as the nodes of quantum networks.

How quantum networking and UC intersect

Quantum networking offers an intriguing glimpse into the future of enterprise computing. And even though it will be years before the technique is widely deployed -- the quantum computing foundation upon which it relies is still under active development -- it's not too early to consider the benefits quantum networking could provide unified communications.

Addressing IPv4 Exhaustion: David Taht's Proposal and the Future of the Internet

The Internet faces a critical challenge due to IPv4 address exhaustion, with nearly 20% of addresses unused. David Taht's proposal suggests reallocating unused IPv4 addresses, but faces potential opposition from tech giants like Amazon. The transition to IPv6 is inevitable, but will require proactive measures and collaboration to ensure a smooth process.
