Hi folks,
How can I check what happened at 13:00 (Dont know if the time in my probe is UTC or UTC+2) of today in the a.root-servers.net?
My latency with the a-root changed from 117 to 45ms and Im curious of what happened.
I've took a look in the RIPEstat routing for the IP Address of the root server, and at the same time the BGP had changes, but there are too many AS involved I cant follow it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, a-root is anycasted, so most likely your probe switched to a different instance of the server. You can see their instances here: https://atlas.ripe.net/contrib/root_anycast.html?msm_id=9 You can check dns measurements your probe does and see if this is indeed the case -- they are available to you in the probe status page, built-in measurements tab. Perhaps "v4 DNS to a.root-servers.net (UDP hostname.bind)" is the best to try. Similarly, traceroutes could tell you exactly what changed. (We report all times in UTC) Cheers, Robert
