Our guest is a long time colleague and friend,\u00a0Suzanne Wolf<\/a>.\u00a0Suzanne is currently the Senior Director of Technical Community Engagement at\u00a0Public Interest Registry<\/a>\u00a0 but this title does not describe her long and storied career and contribution to the Internet technical infrastructure and policy community. We discuss how Suzanne started her career back in the early days of the internet and her involvement in the\u00a0Internet Engineering Task\u00a0 Force (IETF)<\/a>. Suzanne explains how the IETF as a large open and international community of network engineers, researchers and operators work together to define standards and ensure the continued evolution and operation of the internet architecture.\u00a0We talk about how the\u00a0Domain Name System<\/a>, the naming system for various resources on the internet was designed and what the consequences of those early design assumptions were. What were the lessons learned from previous\u00a0attempts to improve the user\u00a0experience by\u00a0tinkering with the DNS such as\u00a0SiteFinder<\/a>?\u00a0And are we set to repeat\u00a0some of\u00a0the same lessons learned with new developments such as\u00a0recursive resolvers. Oh yes, we also try to touch on IPV6 and what we can expect with the proliferation Internet of Things (IoT) devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hosted by:<\/strong> Alexa Raad & Leslie Daigle<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other episodes in the arc:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
