It would be good to get some actual numbers here: peak and steady state of HTTP(S) connections for the busiest web farms and the same for DNS, assuming the current UDP traffic to a decent root or TLD server all went over TCP. If web-land has already solved this problem, then of course that knowledge should be applied to DNS operations. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
