Test new internet domain name system
The Latin character system will soon be replaced by a new character system that allows Chinese, Arabic, and internet domain names to be entered.
The Internet Domain Registration and Registration Organization (ICANN) is conducting testing of the network's processing speed before the Testing Process is expected to be completed in 2008.
Internet domain names are still written in Latin characters with 37 characters, including letters A to Z, 10 digits from 0 to 9 and hyphens. This means that people in countries like China will have a lot of trouble accessing the internet because they hardly use the Latin alphabet.
ICANN conducted a test in October 2006 on the latest version of the internet's address book and root server system, which acts as a "guide" for users' computers to connect to addresses. network.
In October 2006, Vint Cerf - who was still considered one of the creators of the internet - warned that international domain names would bring many risks.
But Lars-Johan Liman, an expert of Autonomica AB (Sweden) wrote in a report on the tests: ' All answers are as expected, we did not detect an external delay. what will '
Subsequent tests will assess the status of the system when users connect to the original servers. ICANN will also have to decide how new domain names will work and be compatible with the existing address book system.
ICANN is under pressure to bring new characters into use because some countries, especially China are also developing a unique technology to support their writing system.
In March 2006, the Chinese government launched a software extension for web browsers to support displaying Chinese characters.
