The first domestically developed domain name server (DNS) powered by a CPU chip named Loongson was released recently in Beijing, marking an innovation in basic Chinese internet technology, cctv.com reported.
Both the software and hardware of the equipment are self-developed, according to its developer, a high-tech startup incubated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Multiple indicators of the server have reached an advanced world level.
Mao Wei, director of the Internet Domain Name System Beijing Engineering Research Center (ZDNS), said the server had been improved significantly in terms of the efficiency of the network analysis, as well as its intelligent transmission line.
The equipment has reinforced the capability of root name servers with the potential of making it possible to bypass the limitation of the current 13 root name servers around the world.
