This study by R. Liston, S. Srinivasan, and E. Zegura, presented by Baoning Wu, explores DNS performance in the wide-area using a diverse dataset. The research involves collecting domain names, running tests at various global sites, and analyzing response times. The results compare mean response times, connectivity, loss rates, and server preferences.

Diversity in DNS performance Measures R.Liston, S.Srinivasan, E.Zegura Presented by Baoning Wu
Motivation • DNS performance in the wide-area is not well understood. • Few studies of DNS from client locations.
Measurement methodology • Collect 14,983 domain names • Run their own tool independently on different sites ( 75 sites ) in the world (21 countries) • Two primary periods: Jan 2002 and Mar/Apr 2002.
Their Tool • The key component is BIND named server. • Modified to log each event with timestamp. • A script to drive name lookups • Post-process the logs.
Results: MRTc vs MINc • Connectivity: Minimum response time of completed lookups (0.62)
Results: retries vs. MRTc • Loss rate: number of retries (0.50)
Results: MRTr vs. MRTc • MRTr: mean response time for root servers • (0.86)
Results: MRTg vs. MRTc • 0.94
