Last week Kurt Erik Lindqvist, CEO of netnod announced to NANOG mailing list that the the I root server DNS server turned on IPv6. Currently, it’s only enabled at the Stockholm node.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the distributed hierarchical database on which most Internet services
and applications rely and depend. The root of this hierarchy is anchored on 13 domain name servers scattered across
the globe.
i.root-servers.net is operated by Autonomica AB. The i-root service was initially provided by NORDUnet
A/S as of July 1991 under the name nic.nordu.net. nic.nordu.net was re-named to i.root-servers.net in
1995 in cooperation with all root server operators. Autonomica took over the
operations of i.root-servers.net in 2000. Funded by our owners and customers, we provide this service
for the benefit of the Internet as a whole.
