Abstract :

There are several "definitive" Internet histories, and there will be
more.  While there are many reasons to study history, this talk
concentrates solely on finding lessons that will have value looking
forward, and uses several examples from naming and DNS as its case
study.  While many argue that a clean slate is the best way forward,
we beg to differ. We begin by looking at the general problem of
extracting useful ideas from Internet history.

The DNS case study has three foci.  The first is the long and
flexible "food chain" that comprises today's DNS industry and
dataflow.  The second is the roots and implications of securing the
DNS infrastructure.  Lastly we look at what it will take to vastly
expand the role of naming in the Internet, either by DNS evolution or
replacement.
