ISP Information:
The I2O standard was designed to simplify and speed up I/O operations on servers. It was going to eliminate the need for different drivers for each OS, and for each SCSI card and network card. The speed-up was achieved by using an Intel 960 chip on the server's motherboard to handle a lot of the I/O processing that would normally be handled by the processor or I/O subsystem. The I20 SIG disbanded in late 2000, and it's n ISP Glossary:
I2O - In article , George Mitchell wrote: Monty Solomon wrote: U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz dismissed allegations that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers had violated federal antitrust laws in its attempts to bar VeriSign from adding services like Site Finder, which effectively took control of all unassigned .com and .net domain names and redirected them to the company's Web site. To refresh people's memory, Site Finder was a VeriSign "service" which made nonexistent second-level domain names under .com and .net appear to exist, rendering one popular spam test useless. VeriSign nominally discontinued this "service" months ago, but I still see as many as a dozen instances per day where the root name servers are supplying addresses instead of name server referrals in response to queries in the .com and .net zones. I haven't investigated any further, but this seems to contradict VeriSign's statement that they have stopped doing this.Nope. not at all. there are situations where a _host_ itself islisted in the root registry. i.e. where it is a declared nameserverfor a 2nd-level domain. Querying for that host *will* resolve directlyfrom the root servers.
