Internet Systems Consortium, Inc., also known as ISC, a Delaware-registered, 501(c)(3) non-profit, supports the infrastructure of the universal, self-organizing Internet by developing and maintaining core production-quality software, protocols, and operations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The History of ISC )〕 ISC has developed several key Internet technologies that enable the global Internet, including: BIND, ISC DHCP, OpenReg, and ISC AFTR (an implementation of an IPv4/IPv6 transition-protocol based on Dual-Stack Lite, which is under development by several large ISPs within the IETF protocol standards-development process). ISC operates one of the 13 global authoritative DNS root servers, F-root.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=F-root ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= ISC and ICANN F-root Agreement ) 〕 Over the years a number of additional software systems were operated under ISC (for example: INN and Lynx) to better support the Internet's infrastructure. ISC also expanded their operational activities to include Internet hosting facilities for other open-source projects such as NetBSD, XFree86, kernel.org, secondary name-service (SNS) for more than 50 top-level domains, and a DNS OARC (Operations, Analysis and Research Center) for monitoring and reporting of the Internet's DNS. ISC is actively involved in community design process; it authors and participates in the development of the IETF standards, including the production of managed open-source software used as a reference implementation of the DNS. ==History== Originally the company was founded as the Internet Software Consortium, Inc. The founders included Paul Vixie, Rick Adams and Carl Malamud. The intention of this corporation was to be to continue the development of BIND software. The founders believed that it was necessary for BIND's maintenance and development be managed and funded by an independent organization. ISC was designated as a root name server operator by IANA, originally as NS.ISC.ORG and later as F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. In January 2004, ISC reorganized under the new name Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ISC Mission )〕 In July 2013, ISC spun off their Security Business Unit to (Farsight Security, Inc. ) a new company started by ISC founder Paul Vixie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ISC Spins Off Its Security Business Unit )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internet Systems Consortium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
