Driving directions

CAIDA/WIDE Collaboration

The objectives of informal joint CAIDA/WIDE workshops are:

• to discuss Internet measurement analysis activities going on in each organization;
• to explore opportunities for joint collaboration on projects;
• to continue data exchange.

August 7 (Saturday)

• 9:30-11:00 DNS measurements and modeling

  2. Duane Wessels, Is your caching resolver polluting the Internet? (presented at Sigcomm 2004)
  3. Nevil Brownlee, NeTraMet: Recent developments in a production measurement environment

  General discussion: future directions of DNS research and collaboration

  • automated day-to-day comparisons of DNS RTTs at several metering sites might provide a way to observe how stable the anycast root servers are (by spotting changes from one anycast server to another).
  • is it possible to decide whether a DNS request is to a top-level, second-level, etc. nameserver, by observing the sequence of DNS requests issued by a local cacheing nameserver? This would be a hard problem to solve, but the solution would facilitate metering ccTLD servers in NeTraMet.
  • can we get the WIDE NeTraMet meter(s) to post their data on the CAIDA web site? How could we make the DNS RTT web pages more useful?
  • update on IPv6 query type spikes seen at F-root.

  11:00-11:30 break
