Unlocking the Secrets of DNS: A Guide to Root Servers

Ғылым және технология

We explore root servers, TLD servers, and authoritative servers in the DNS system. We will focus on how resolving name servers work with authoritative name servers. Understanding DNS resolvers, recursive query, and iterative query. The role of IANA and ICANN plays in maintaining the DNS system. Explore DNS root server operators and how they monitor the health of DNS. What is a zone file and much more?

    Another question sorry! For some reason, I am so interested in these servers. I think it's pretty cool for a newbie tech student! Regarding the DNSlytics, do you have the paid version of it? I wanted to download it for my chrome but I noticed there are two options. Paid and free version. Also, regarding what you said at time stamp 8:47 about the "magic" of how "lowes" can be hosted in the Netherlands yet I have fast traffic back and forth from here...do you have a video that explains that? Content Delivery Network (Akami International B.V.). Thank you for taking the time and the opportunity for me to grow based on your knowledge!

    Great question, there are 13 "master" copies of the database that represent the "root" of DNS, but those 13 copies of the DNS root database are installed all over the world on hundreds of servers! The size of UDP data packets means that there's only room to include the IP addresses of 13 root servers in a single packet. Originally that meant a limit of 13 root server machines, and it gives us the root server names A-M. But thanks to the anycasting technique, each root server address can be mirrored on multiple physical servers in multiple diverse locations.

    I depends, many root servers are very inexpensive and hosted by many companies and organizations and even governments all over the world. But if these DNS servers are located in an Internet Exchange Point (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point) they will be very expensive. Keep in mind you can build a DNS server under $400.00 and yes it will be limited in how many queries it can handle.

They are attacked on a very regular basis and recently some security researchers discovered a problem DNS architecture that had someone else discovered it, they could have quickly brought the entire internet down, using a single DNS query packet. This malformed packet could bring a DNS server into high CPU utilization for up to 16 hours. www.athene-center.de/fileadmin/content/PDF/Technical_Report_KeyTrap.pdf
