Abstract:
In Domain Name System (DNS), 13 root servers are deployed in order
to provide the entrance of domain name resolution and they are
denoted by 13 letters. From 2000 or so, the anycast technology has
been adopted to extend the number of root servers with the explosive
development of Internet. To date, 11 of the 13 letters are hosted at
multiple sites, and the root zone is served at about 380 sites
around the globe. However, increasing mirror sites is not a perfect
solution to scale the DNS root servers because the geographical
distribution of the current 13 root servers is uneven and only
increasing mirror sites cannot solve the efficiency and scalability
issues caused by that. Then we propose a new DNS root system in this
draft based on the widely deployed Domain Name System Security
Extensions (DNSSEC). The proposed architecture is scalable and
secure enough to meet the current and future needs to scale the DNS
root system in an easy-deployment way.
