:''[[Dominion|Go Here]]'' | |||
I have conceived and implemented a ''private'' TLD domain system based on standard open source software which I call a ''dominion''. A "dominion" is really just the '''aii.biz''' scheme for peer-peer routing based on such software in an ordinary Bind 9 IP V6 namespace although that encompasses quite a bit. | |||
In my construct, each peer operates a complete name space into which the public internet maps under the operators control. The five ICANN domains constituting my dominion are unified in the ''dominion'' wik-cso.dom which is just the top level name I have reserved for myself in interfacing with other autonomous peers. The dominion system assumes a number of elements generally optional until now are uniformly enabled. In particular IPV6, Mutlicasting, and the maintenance of ones own TLD are assumed and each domain is assumed to be an agency for a set of identified persons. It is this latter TLD collaboration which constitutes the dominion system. Names at the top level are claimed FCFS as peers join the network, with <b>.dom</b> reserved for my source network. | |||

Only a small proportion of ISPs actually use any of the zones served by alt-root operators, generally sticking to the ICANN-specified root servers. This in turn led to the commercial failure of several alternative DNS root providers. | Only a small proportion of ISPs actually use any of the zones served by alt-root operators, generally sticking to the ICANN-specified root servers.

A '''.biz''' TLD created by Pacific Root was in operation before ICANN approved a '''[[:en:.biz|.biz]]''' run by Neulevel, and for some time after the creation of the ICANN-sanctioned '''.biz''' several alt roots continued to resolve '''.biz''' to Pacific Root's rather than Neulevel's. There were therefore '''.biz''' domain names that existed in different roots and pointed to different [[IP address]]es. The possibility of such conflicts, and their potential for destabilizing the Internet, is the main source of controversy surrounding alt roots. Many of the alternate roots try to coordinate with each other, but many do not - and they have no conflict resolution procedure between them. | A '''.biz''' TLD created by Pacific Root was in operation before ICANN approved a '''[[:en:.biz|.biz]]''' run by Neulevel, and for some time after the creation of the ICANN-sanctioned '''.biz''' several alt roots continued to resolve '''.biz''' to Pacific Root's rather than Neulevel's.
