Today, the Technical Center of the Internet provides backbone services to the registries and runs the domain registration services of Russia's national domains (.RU and .РФ), .SU, .ДЕТИ, .TATAR. The Technical Center of Internet's mission is to ensure seamless functioning for Russia's Internet facilities and services.

The domain name registration system runs in a geographically distributed network. Two technologically equal nodes are located in Moscow and St.-Petersburg, Russia.Each TCI node consists of automated domain name registration and maintenance system, primary DNS and application servers. The Moscow node is located in the KIAEHOUSE Datacenter in the "Kurchatov Institute" National Research Centre.

The Technical Center of Internet provides support for the registers of  top-level domains in Russia, .RU, .РФ, .SU, .ДЕТИ, .TATAR, .MOSCOW, .МОСКВА, as well as exchanges information with the registrars that perform second-level domain name registrations by sending queries to the TCI.

At the moment, the domain name registration system  allows supporting 50 million domain names, with possible expansion up to 100 million domain names. On average, query response time is ca. 30 milliseconds. The system supports both IPv4 and IPv6, as well as provides WHOIS interface.

WHOIS is a TCP-based query and response protocol, widely used for querying domain name administrators databases. TCI's WHOIS service is capable of returning 3000 queries per second.
