Would it be of interest to the Atlas community to have the probes try and query "." via both UDP and TDP from each of the 13 root servers (perhaps v4 and v6 separately), report back that data, and then generate a report on the results? I would be happy to assist in preparing or presenting a report on the results!
The probes are already measuring this. I don't think we made any graphs of the results.
I'm not sure a graph would be the best representation of this data. The interesting questions to me are: - Compare Failure Levels - What is the overall level of UDP failure? - What is the overall level of UDP+EDNS0 failure? - What is the overall level of TCP failure? - Exploring the differences in the ecosystem - Is there a statistical difference in the failure rate between IPv4 and IPv6? (Are we getting better or worse) - Is there a statistical difference in the failure rate between two different root servers? (Does the root server deployment model matter) - What is the difference in response time of TCP queries compared to UDP queries? (What's the penalty to fall back to TCP) -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
