EspañolINTERNET SYSTEMS CONSORTIUM
(Redirected from Internet Software Consortium)
In January 2004 the projects, assets and staff of Internet Software Consortium were transferred to a new company, 'Internet Systems Consortium'. The new company is a US Federal 501c(3) public-benefit, non-profit corporation.
Software developed at ISC includes BIND, DHCP, INN, Network Time Protocol, OpenReg. The ISC is also known for a software license, the so-called ISC license, which is functionally similar to the MIT license; this license is also the license preferred for new code contributed to OpenBSD.
ISC also operates a root DNS server (F-root) and maintains the central list of moderators for Usenet, acting as a relay for moderated groups so individual server operators don't have to keep track of moderator changes.
Started as the ''Internet Software Consortium (ISC)'', ISC was an organization that was founded by Rick Adams and Paul Vixie with funding from UUNET to develop and support a number of reference implementations of Internet software. ISC's main office is in Redwood City, California.
In January 2004 the projects, assets and staff of Internet Software Consortium were transferred to a new company, Internet Systems Consortium. The new company is a US Federal 501c(3) public-benefit, non-profit corporation.
The ISC also publishes the results of the Internet Domain Survey which counts the number of hosts on the Internet. This survey has been performed since the time when there were only a few hundred hosts linked to the Internet. The earliest published reports are dated in 1993 and were performed by Mark Lottor of Network Wizards (nw.com).
The Domain Survey attempts to discover every host on the Internet by doing a complete search of the Domain Name System. It is now sponsored by the Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. with technical operations subcontracted to Network Wizards.
The Internet host count has grown from 4,852,000 in January 1995 to being 433,193,199 which is noted in the latest survey executed in February 2007.
