Projects

I'm working with CAIDA on a cooperation basis coming from NIC Chile, .CL ccTLD registry. The results of this agreement could be seen here.

  • Understanding the behaviour of anycast during a node switch
      Using the .CL anycast infrastructure, we will test the convergence time of an anycast cloud with four nodes, and check how the load changes.
  • DNS workload visualization
      Prepared a tool to visualize DNS load (by number of queries or by number of clients) aggregated by country. Now it's being featured at CAIDA's home page.

    • Using the data collected during January 2007 on 4 out of 13 DNS root servers, analyze different parameters to evaluate the stability of the anycast system.
  • Emerging queries (Work in progress)
      Using a whole year of data captured at .CL nameservers, investigate about the "emerging queries". DNS queries related with new technologies as EDNS, IDN, DNSSEC, IPv6, etc.
