"rootprobe" is a program which measures the response time of the DNS root
|
|
name servers. This program was developed to collect measurement data from
|
|
many locations around the world.
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to collect measurement data to understand the current status
|
|
of the root servers. (e.g., analyzing the performance and stability of the
|
|
servers, identifying under-served regions.)
|
|
The data will be a basis for discussions on various issues such as
|
|
- how to improve the root server system as a whole
|
|
- possible future reconfiguration of the root servers
|
|
The results will be reported to the ICANN DNS Root Server System Advisory
|
|
Committee. The data is used only for a research purpose.
|
|
|
|
We are looking for volunteers to collect data, especially from
|
|
developing countries.
