Introduction

“One World, One Internet, One Namespace” is the essence for the success of today’s Internet. The top level of the unique identifier system, the DNS root system, has been operational for 25+ years. It is pivot to make the current Internet useful. So it is considered somewhat ossified for stability reasons. It is hard to test and implement new ideas evolving to a more advanced level to counter challenges. To benefit the Internet development as a whole, Yeti Project is founded to build a parallel experimental live IPv6 DNS root system to discover the limits of DNS root name service and deliver useful technical output. Note that Yeti is not providing alternative name space… More

Yeti Phase-2

The Yeti Phase-2 project is based on a P2P network and designs a new decentralized distributed DM system.

The system design has the following characteristics:

  • Decentralized, no central node, each node needs to reach a consensus when performing operations, the Primary node is the executor, and have no special authority
  • Scalable, Increase system redundancy
  • Using threshold signature (TS) technology to reduce the number of DNSKEY
  • Introduced DM Management Committee (DMMC), responsible for transaction management
