DNS Evolution

DNS Evolution

The DNS is changing. Current efforts to add privacy through channel encryption in the DNS are just part of a larger picture. Authentication of DNS responses through DNSSEC is also part of the picture, as well as transport layer robustness and the concerns over the continued use of UDP as the common substrate. In addition, we are now adding a rich layer of service rendezvous tools to the DNS through the SVCB and HTTPSSVC records. Taken together, these are a lot of changes to a vital component of common Internet infrastructure and it is reasonable to ask how likely these proposed DNS changes are to see deployment and will the DNS be fundamentally changed along the way?

This was a great presentation, he does a good job in a layman's way. Did sort of glean from it that the glue holding the current dns together is the naming system, domains? though wasn't sure how serious he was.
