DNS was originally written down in August 1979 in '[IEN
116](https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien116.txt)', part of a parallel
series of documents describing the Internet. IEN 116-era DNS is not
compatible with today's DNS. In 1983, RFC 882 was released, and stunningly

on the internet and be interoperable.
