.SE releases report on consumer broadband routers
by Patrik Wallstrom 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

"Three of the ten routers that .SE has tested, have passed the test specification without any remarks. The other seven have had severe problems when using what might be considered plain Domain Name System (DNS). The majority of the routers does not manage to pass on DNSSEC to the client, which gives you problems when there are applications on the client that want to handle their own DNSSEC validation." http://iis.se/about/press?id=135 The Excel document describing the result of the tests in more detail is available on request. -- Patrik Wallström Project Manager, R&D .SE (Stiftelsen för Internetinfrastruktur) E-mail: pawal(a)iis.se Web: http://www.iis.se/

Patrik, let me be one of the first that thank you and your team for the hard work in doing this testing. Specifically as I early in this process "complained" that it was hard for us as Cisco to get to know which one (if any) of our products where involved. Thanks!

IANA introduces AAAA record for K-root
by Anand Buddhdev 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Dear Colleagues, Yesterday, 4 February 2008, at around 17:00 (UTC), IANA introduced AAAA records for six of the root servers in the root server system. One of these servers is k.root-servers.net (2001:7fd::1), which is managed by the RIPE NCC. This change allows the root zone to be queried over IPv6. The K-root IPv6 prefix is currently anycast from the two global nodes, located in Amsterdam and Miami. The introduction of the AAAA records went smoothly, and we are monitoring the query rate and pattern. We are also collecting more detailed information for future analysis. A graph showing the IPv6 query rate for the last 24 hours can be viewed at: http://ripe.net/news/k-root-aaaa-announcement.html More information about AAAA records in the root zone is available at: http://www.iana.org/reports/root-aaaa-announcement.html Regards, -- Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager, RIPE NCC
