Darwin & Protocols
summary
DNS evolution faces concrete limits: cache poisoning exposed by Dan Kaminsky accelerates the need for DNSSEC is 15 years old and slow to deploy, many extensions fail (about 60 data types added, only ~10 widely used), open resolvers fuel DDoS and faster links worsen attacks, and popular services produce huge load (commodity servers approach 1,000,000 queries per second while some report 10,000 QPS as trivial). Experiments like ONS for RFID and ENUM largely fail to displace entrenched systems, and market moves—1300 new TLDs funded by a third of a billion dollars—drive selective innovation rather than wholesale replacement.
