Subject: Affinity/bizTRAC Response to ICANN staff Technical Assessment

Message:
 

 
This response to the technical elements of the ICANN staff report has been prepared by 7Ways.com. 7Ways.com also prepared the technical plan for the Affinity/bizTRAC proposal and  will be subcontracted to run the technical aspects of registry operations if our proposal is approved.

This response .aims to address the technical issues that were raised in the staff report by clarifying some of the points detailed in our original proposal.

1. During the test and launching period (about 3 to 6 months)

Affinity has the advantage of a double structure through Affinity and 7Ways with a real time synchronization based on proven Sun type machine on Linux. All data will be duplicated and stored by Affinity.

The registry model is expected to operate on the IPV6 protocol in addition to the IPV4 which is a major advance and we believe does significantly “advance the state of the art”.

2. After 3 to 6 months

The two primary test bed servers will be transformed to serve the security server and the whole process will be migrated to Patmos type machines from 16 node and 256 processors on Linux. This ambitious choice is motivated by the fact that 7Ways attaches great importance to real time transactions and secured information.

There would thus be 3 systems operating.  A Patmos system for the production at Affinity and 2 classical PC server systems that provide mirroring in Europe and Asia.

The Patmos technology guarantees a high degree of capacity and treatment.

Fault Tolerance

After the test bed period, during the production phase, Affinity guarantees a maximum tolerance level – 7Ways experience in military network architecture is an important guarantee that gives Affinity the best tolerance level.

The Patmos module choice at 16 nodes is motivated by the fact that it will be possible to continually develop and evolve the registry material.

The classical 7Ways registry model (not Patmos) has been tested on over 2,000,000 transactions with daily attack tests under tolerance conditions identical to those required by military applications.  7Ways will therefore guarantee to provide the same level of security for the .biz registry that has been required in the development of military applications.

All connectivity is based, like the Patmos system, on optical fiber.
