Mr. Woodcock started working in the Internet Industry in the field of Internet Routing Research in 1989, while he was the operations director at an international multi-protocol service provision backbone network. He is one of the founder Packet Clearing House and has been serving as the Research Director there since 1997. He has contributed to the establishment of more than one hundred public exchange points in various parts of the world.
Mr. Woodcock and J.D. Falk's model spam regulation became California law in 1998 and paved the way for other jurisdictions.
Woodcock's published work includes many PCH white-papers, the 1993 McGraw-Hill book Networking the Macintosh, the report of the ANF AppleTalk Tunneling Architectures Working Group, which he chaired in 1993 and 1994, many articles in Network World, MacWorld, MacWEEK, Connections, and other networking journals and periodicals. In addition, he was principal author of the Multicast DNS, IP Anycast, and Operator Requirements of Infrastructure Management Methods IETF drafts. In the early nineties, he pioneered IGP and EGP-based topological load balancing techniques using IP Anycast technology. Together with Mark Kosters he proposed at the 1996 Montreal IEPG that the root DNS servers be migrated to IP Anycast, and their work has provided the basis upon which root DNS servers have been deployed since the late 1990s. In addition to protocol development work, Woodcock has developed networking products for Cisco, Agilent, and Farallon. Woodcock has director roles in four companies in the areas of satellite communications, content distribution, and domain name service technology. In 2001 Woodcock co-authored (with Chuck Goolsbee) the infamous "Chuck & Woody's Fiendishly Difficult Mac-Mgrs Trivia Quiz" for the annual gathering of member of the Macintosh Managers mailing list in San Francisco for Macworld Expo. To date over 50% of the questions remain unanswered.
Woodcock has also served on the board of trustees of ARIN since 2002, the board of directors of the Internet Capacity Development Consortium[1] since 2004, the .ORG Public Interest Registry Advisory Board 2005-2007, and the board of the ISP/Consortium in 1998 and 1999. He is a current or former PCH representative to AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, IEPG, ISOC, the ISP/C, LACNIC, NATOA, and RIPE, and he speaks regularly at AfNOG, APIA, APNIC, APRICOT, ARIN, ISOC, RIPE, IEPG, IETF, SANOG and NANOG meetings. He has served on the program committees of NANOG, SANOG, PAM, and APRICOT.
Woodcock was one of the two international liaisons in Estonia during the computer attacks unleashed after the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn incident and assisted in the defense coordinated by Hillar Aarelaid and the CERT-EE.[2][3]
