View my explanation just like it was, how we did our calculations. Conclusions can anyone draw from the data. The problem is that if one look at just queries to a root server like this, there is lots of what I would call "junk". When looking at TLDs, we saw about 162 million different TLDs each 24h in the QNAME. We saw this time also for example queries for SPF and other RR Types where the QNAME was an IPv4 address (for example "10.2.3.4."). So, we found _some_ algorithm was needed instead of "just" counting queries, and we did count the way I just explained. Patrik |
