Chapter 411 Domain Name Root Servers
In the Internet tide is coming, the new venture electronics group to the market to launch a new "surf card" debugging demodulator.
You must know that the world's Internet infrastructure is relatively backward, including network users in developed countries in Europe and the United States, basically access the network through telephone line analog signals. Since computers are digital and telephone lines are analog, communication between the two is not only slow, but also unreadable. For this purpose, a special debug demodulator is required to translate analog and digital signals.
At present, the speed of the world's mainstream debugging demodulator is only 2400bit/s, which is converted to a download speed of about 0.2KB per second!
In fact, Lin Qi originally didn't want to do this kind of backward thing, but he couldn't do it if he didn't do it. Now the "cats" of Internet users all over the world are too rubbish. Because the industrial market is so small, even a company like Bell has been perfunctory in developing and debugging demodulators, with a rate of 2400 bit/s in the early 80s, and it is still in the popularization stage.
The download speed is only 0.2KB per second, which is almost unimaginable in later generations!
Although, it is more necessary to solve the private network fiber, rather than using the current telephone lines to make do with the Internet. However, selling a fiber optic network is more complicated than selling the demodulator.
You know, those telecom operators don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and don't see the prospect of making money on the Internet, who will invest huge sums of money to build the basic communication network of the Internet?
"The maximum speed of the surfing debugging demodulator reaches 24KB/s, which is 10 times the speed of the conventional debugging demodulator on the market!" Zhang Ru, CEO of Xinchuang Electronics Group Co., Ltd., was also forced to become the godmother of the Internet, "In addition, the surfing debugging demodulator has a built-in Pangu browser, so that the browser can not occupy the computer's valuable hard disk storage space." This is our hardware specially built for Internet surfing users, its performance and experience, are far more than the traditional debug demodulator, at the same time, good compatibility, currently, TCP/IP protocol-based mainstream Internet protocol standards, it can be well compatible...... As for the price, it costs only $100! It's cheaper than other debug demodulators on the market, and it's ten times more powerful! It's the first debug demodulator with a built-in browser, so you can access the World Wide Web without having to install a browser!"
Zhang Ru's speech was incendiary. However, Surf debugs the demodulator and still received a large number of orders. In Hong Kong alone, more than 10,000 users have purchased Surf debugging demodulators.
As for the United States, Japan and other markets, under the promotion of local subsidiaries, Surf brand debugging demodulator has also quickly opened the market, only in September, the American market has received 50,000 orders, and the Japanese market has also received 10,000 orders.
Of course, this is mainly because the current Internet in the world is based on the Internet construction in the United States, so the Internet users in the United States far exceed those of other countries. With the subsequent development of the Internet, the number of users in other regions has gradually exceeded the number of users in the United States.
With the follow-up advertising promotion, the "ten-fold speed" surfing card debugging demodulator has quickly become popular among the people and has become the first choice for many Internet surfing users.
……
On September 20, 1987, at the invitation of Lin Qi, the domestic high-level sent a high-level team to Shenzhen and visited the industries of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
As a result, a series of negotiations between China and the United States began, including China's access to the U.S.-led global Internet, but the U.S. needed to put a domain name and a server, assuming that it was in China. Moreover, on the issue of IP4 addresses, China has made some efforts, and the lion began to ask for 400 million addresses, accounting for 10% of the IP address resources under the IP4 protocol!
Of course, it is impossible for the United States to agree to this condition, you know, even the important allies of the United States, European countries and Japan, did not ask for so many IP4 addresses.
Although the United States does not know the scarcity and importance of address resources in the future, it can't just give it to China if it wants so much? After all, China currently has a pitiful small number of users on the Internet. In addition to some network nodes set up by the new entrepreneurship department, the official scientific research institutions in China only set up Internet nodes in 87, and on September 14, 87, they sent the first email to their academic counterparts in Germany - "Over the Great Wall, to the world"!
Now, the new entrepreneurship department has not only built some Internet nodes in China, but also cooperated with the telecommunications bureau to set up a fiber optic private network for Internet communication within the enterprise.
On the basis of these network construction, Xinchuang Electronics Group has been popularizing science to domestic telecommunications bureaus for several years. Therefore, China has the ability to build a Chinese local area network on its own, relying on more than 1 billion users in the country, which is enough to become a pole of the Internet. Moreover, after building the network independently, it can also win over other countries to join the Internet established by China, so the dependence on the Internet is similar to the Cold War, becoming two parallel and not integrated international Internet.
Naturally, the United States is unacceptable to this, so China is constantly negotiating and, lowering its requirements. 400 million IP addresses are not good, just 300 million, 300 million is not good, 200 million, 200 million will not be given, 150 million, not to talk about pulling down, anyway, I don't have to join!
Considering that China has the status of one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and that it is still in the Cold War period, the United States still needs to win over China before the Soviet Union is finished.
What's more, there is the evil of the new entrepreneurial electronics group, and the United States does not doubt that China can independently build cheap and high-performance computers and build its own Internet!
And without China's participation in the Internet, it must not be called a complete Internet, at least not in line with the plans of the Americans!
Therefore, under China's initiative, 120 million IP4 network addresses were finally obtained through negotiations. In addition, China's own CN top-level domain name servers are also allowed to be set up in China, instead of the mirror servers in the domestic market, which are controlled by the United States, making domestic Internet security essentially subject to others.
Now, there are still 13 root servers for domain names in the world. Among them, 9 are in the United States, 2 are in Europe, 1 is in China, and 1 is in Japan.
In this pattern, the United States is still dominant, but China has its own domain root server, which not only makes it faster and more stable for netizens to access the web page, but also more secure on the Internet.
