IPv6: Extinction, Evolution or Revolution?

• Comment posted Aug 16, 2006 2:38 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  Kim, I wouldn't be so harsh to Victor.  You could be right, not being able to get funding is a sign that an idea is not meeting a need, sometimes it is just the sales job.  But a lack of…

  Perhaps my comments were not understood. If you read my first two paragraphs, you'll see I am addressing why end-to-end is important to TCP/IP.  The Internet today is TCP/IP, or largely TCP/IP.  An unwritten assumption of mine is that the…

  Why is end-to-end important? That is a good question.  In short, end-to-end is important in TCP/IP - technically important even if it seems invisible to policy and other layers. The OSI defintion of the Network Layer and the Transport layer…

  I've spent some time trying to deploy IPv6 in different environments over the past couple of years.  I used to have the license plate "ip6arpa" but have turned that in for a generic one, a reflection of my optimism. As…

Release of IE7, Firefox 2.0 Will Drive Significant IDN Demand

• Comment posted Nov 01, 2006 2:14 pm PST — by Edward Lewis
  With change and innovation comes risk.  Criminals are not risk adverse but a lot of legitimate businesses are.  If in the early phases of IDN there are a lot of registrations for suspected phishing activity this shouldn't discourage IDN.  As…

AFNIC and DNS Server Redelegation

• Comment posted Dec 15, 2006 12:27 pm PST — by Edward Lewis
  Besides adding a "metoo" to the comments by Jay Daley, Joe Abley, Simon Waters, et.al., I suggest that you check out http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0410/pdf/toyama.pdf.  It makes a plea for authoritative servers to be available on TCP.  The presentation was also given at…

Splitting the Root: It's Too Late

• Comment posted Apr 10, 2007 3:24 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  By Stephane Bortzmeyer | Apr 10, 2007, 02:37 am PDT Redirecting traffic sent to one machine (say A.root-servers.net) to another (say A.my-root.net) without user’s informed consent is hijacking, pure and simple. What matters is not that my packets get to…

ARIN Provides Latest Word on Need to Move to IPv6: Will Anyone Heed the Warning? (Does anyone care?)

• Comment posted Jun 15, 2007 5:08 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  I've been thinking of responding to this for some time. Rhetorically speaking, what is meant by IANA running out of IPv4 addresses?  It means that there are no more "new" (as in "old growth forest") IPv4 addresses available.  There will…

.berlin TLD Awared the German Internet Award 2007

• Comment posted Jun 26, 2007 6:29 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  I'd suggest that the TLD for NYC be ".fuhgeddaboudit".  Anyone got a problem with that?

The End of the (IPv4) World is Nigher!

• Comment posted Jul 02, 2007 4:16 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  What can we do now? Get institutions with interests in the Internet to take inward-looking steps to bring about change.  Instead of telling the world "just do it," take look at what can be done inside their charters.  Looking at…

Identity Theft of Root Name Servers, Reason Unknown

• Comment posted May 20, 2008 2:13 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  Title says: "Identity Theft of Root Name Servers, Reason Unknown".  Then inside the article it says "This posting is about an attack on one such root name server. Actually, 'attack' isn’t really an appropriate term. It was not really an…

DNSSEC Adds Value?

• Comment posted May 30, 2008 1:25 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  I don't want to come across as argumentative on this, but I do want to suggest an answer or two: Ron Aitchison said: I would say here that you have to trust someone (or not) in all cases - either…

  Leif Johansson said: Ed - I don't claim that just any key distribution scheme can be poured into CERT/KEY RRs. However there are properties of how key management is being envisioned in SAML-based identity federation that makes it more likely…

• Comment posted May 28, 2008 6:53 pm PDT — by Edward Lewis
  I couldn't resist checking the history of DNSSEC to see what evidence we had of our considering DNSSEC as a key distribution mechanism.  I pulled this from the early, early email archive of the DNSSEC WG (1994?-1999) of the IETF.…

  As someone that was one of the early designers of DNSSEC, I'd like to address some points. I'm quoting only relevant parts of the original post. Mostly I'm saying - we did try that, we failed, but if anyone wants…
