A documen<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/summary-of-impact-root-zone-scaling-06oct10-en.pdf>t on the impact of root zone scaling was recently released by ICANN for public comment<http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-06oct10-en.htm>. It says:- ---- "Looking forward 10 years, and still assuming a maximum of 1000 new TLDs per year, the ”L” Root study projects the root zone will have grown to 7,471,784 bytes. Again, based on input from root server operators, it is unlikely this amount of zone data will stress any of the root servers. With regards to bandwidth, the minimum bandwidth necessary to transfer the zone of this size in the 12-hour window would be approximately 1400 bits per second." -- Hari
