Dear colleagues,
We did some more analysis of the recent increase in query load on K-root and other root name servers. Please read on RIPE Labs:

This analysis is interesting from the traffic standpoint, but doesn't seem to answer one of the questions that I had, which is what caused the sudden increase? Historically this kind of thing has happened in the case of a misconfiguration for the name service for a popular domain, but (unless I missed it, and if so apologies) the question of, "Was <domain> misconfigured?" isn't answered in this paper. I'm not (necessarily) asking you to "name and shame" the domain in question, but I still believe that it's an interesting question on several levels. Meanwhile congrats to the K staff for handling this issue so adroitly.
