Please stop. This is not productive and a waste of many people's valuable time. Do something useful. Break your fingers. Anything. But do it elsewhere. Please stop polluting NANOG with your DNS tripings. -a

InterNIC -> eDNS Comparison Report
by Jim Fleming 21 May '97

21 May '97

The following is a sample of one of the reports used to synchronize the Root Name Server Confederations. I am sure that most NANOG subscribers can easily read it. It is interesting that people make claims about SLD.TLD collisions while those people are making those claims eDNS people are working hard to prevent such collisions. It is also interesting that the IAHC intentionally selected .WEB to test the TLD collision waters. Why would people that preach against collision support an organization that intentionally caused a collision ? The following shows what the InterNIC would have to do to come into "synch" with eDNS....without collisions. It also shows some of the recent changes that eDNS has to track and fix because the InterNIC does not report such changes.

Better RED than Dead.
by bmanning＠ISI.EDU 20 May '97

20 May '97

Lots of good press these days on the value of RED or W-RED. What might be a useful benchmark to collect is the size of queue length on border router interfaces (at both public and private peering points) so that there might be some accurate data on just how RED will affect behaviour of said gear. Some estimates have RED capable hardware (other than the wonderful work that Curtis has done) available for mere mortals in the next couple of months. As for me, I'm collecting interface queue lengths at LAP/MAE-LA off the participating routers... Any thoughts? -- --bill

RE: Root Nameserver Changes

It is better to expand/modify Root Name Server Confederations based on where servers are located and which ISPs use them. It would be good if the various continents had their own Root Name Server Confederations. If that were the case, traffic would not be shuttled across the various oceans just to give the illusion that there is operational redundancy. To add European root name servers to the list that North American operators use does not do them a service.
