The indissoluble bond between national domain name and Chinese Academy of Sciences

Author: Pau Tingting Editor's note: This is the 15th year of China's entry into the internet age, more than 10 years, China's Internet through the boom and bustle, ebb and flow, create rich myths constantly staged, people have been accustomed to. When the dust settles, inventory left netizens with the richest and far-reaching wealth, the legendary development of national domain name undoubtedly occupies a place. The author in China's first domain name conference learned that the original in the people's impression of the small domain name, unexpectedly has formed a value of more than 4 billion yuan, more than 100,000 employees of the complete industry, supporting the domestic Internet economic system.　　Numbers are always boring, the truth of history is often hidden in one detail, let us uncover the history of the corner, looking for the fragments of history, restore the history of the real track, find its development of the Magic Code.　　China Internet 10 years birthday, the father of the Internet Vinton G Cerf visit Cnnic, in the first CN domain name server before the exclamation. When we opened the history of the early Chinese Internet, Qiheng, Chan Hualin ...　　A familiar name to witness the Chinese Internet arduous and tortuous development process, and the story behind them, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and national domain name tightly linked together, forged an indissoluble bond.　　Origin: Access to international internet diplomacy to talk about the development of China's national domain name, first from China to access the internet began. "The Internet into China, not honorific carried in, is the trail came out." "A word from academician Qiheng the difficulties and hardships of China's Internet access to the world." As we all know, the world's first Internet, the 1968 by the United States Department of Defense led the formation of the "Apache Network." After more than 10 years of development, by the late 1980s, the Internet in Europe and the United States has been very popular, online number of 300,000 units, commercial applications have sprouted.　　At this time, the vast land of China has no real sense of the Internet, the internet's door to China is still tightly closed. The early 1990s, the world's Internet development More rapid, WWW protocol, multimedia and browsers have appeared, online quantity is exploded to increase to millions of units. At this time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a representative of a large number of researchers on the need to connect to the Internet is very urgent, because again, China's scientific community will become an island of information, isolated from the world.　　But at that time, there were many difficulties in terms of funding, channels and formalities, and more importantly, the United States was unwilling to let China join in. Despite the obstacles, China's Internet pioneers have not given up. At the INET92 annual meeting in Kobe, Japan, in June 1992, the Chan Hualin researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences met with the head of the National Science Foundation's International networking Department for the first time to formally discuss China's Internet connection to the world. By the end of 1993, the American National Science Foundation (NSF), after trying to make use of all possible opportunities, agreed to ChinaThe Internet.　　At the beginning of 1994, when the Sino-US Joint Conference on Science and Technology was convened, Qiheng, deputy dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, on behalf of China to the National Science Foundation to reaffirm the Internet requirements, and finally received recognition.　　April 20, 1994, China and the international 64K Internet channel opened, marking China officially linked to the Internet. The process of Internet diplomacy is also the process of a foreign network, here tongue is not a reputation, the experts have a diplomat's wrist and indomitable spirit, and finally persuaded the foreign counterparts, China from the Internet to become a spectator of active participants.　　Great changes began in the booming the 1990s, and the development of the Internet in China relies on this group of hardworking families. Margin set: The National CN domain name is also a "returnee" although already connected to the Internet, but because there is no domain name, foreign e-mail to China is difficult, but also can only use IP address hair. The blank of domain name resources becomes the bottleneck of China Internet development, China must have national top domain name ——.　　CN domain name can truly realize the sharing of information on the Internet. 1990, Chan Hualin think of the United States registered CN this top-level domain, the result found that CN domain name by a person named T.b.qian registered. In fact, November 28, 1990, China's top-level domain name. CN has completed registration, Quack landed, contact person is Chantianbai. However, since China has not been linked to the internet, China's CN top-level domain name server is temporarily located in the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in the first few years of its birth, can only be suspended overseas, not for the vast majority of people know.　　However, the domain name management right to a certain extent equivalent to the national sovereignty of the Internet, we must not let their national domain name top-level servers in foreign countries for a long time. According to Chan Hualin recalls, before we connected with the United States, we took into account the problem of domain name in advance, summoned a lot of experts. The study of China's top-level domain Name system, how to set a better, and then determine the CN domain Name System. When China is linked to the Internet, Chan Hualin find Chantianbai, after obtaining the consent of Chantianbai, Germany, Chantianbai, CAS, the three sides jointly proposed to move the server back. May 21, 1994, the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed. CN server settings and is responsible for. CN top-level domain registration and maintenance work. At that time there are three servers, a master server in China Science and Technology Network, a deputy server in the United States, there is a deputy server in Europe.　　Since then, China has changed the country's top-level domain name server has been in foreign history, opened the new chapter of Internet development. If, today, the development of the country's domain name is like a towering tree, then the Chinese Academy of Sciences is undoubtedly devoted a lot of painstaking efforts to this tree, in the early care of its growth, the national domain name from scratch, from small to large, leafy, endless, there is the China Academy of Sciences figure.
