[rssac-caucus] MTU, MSS and Frag
by George Michaelson March 27, 2017

March 27, 2017

I propose RSSAC caucus explore an understanding of the MTU, MSS and fragmentation behaviour of all instances of the roots, in IPv6 and IPv4. If we had this data, we would be able to understand if what we see with any given instance of query to a root was local, or more likely along the path. Some evidence from random query tests suggests both that there is no consistency between the root operators, and some inconsistency within a given root letter, depending on where you query goes, or what protocol you use. Because of the increase in TCP, and packetsizes in responses, this is of interest because of the exposure to fragmentation, or loss of pMTU signalling, or the variances in MSS/TCP against interface MTU and UDP. This question has a quality which goes to "only the root operators can say" which is why it feels to me like a well-formed question for the caucus to consider, which implies RSSAC taking it on board to ask the root operators about. -George

[rssac-caucus] aggressive NXDOMAIN in pDNS, and its effect on traffic to the root
by George Michaelson March 27, 2017

March 27, 2017

I would like to propose a study in rssac-caucus to collect information about the effects of the deployment of aggressive NSEC response, on the volume of query at the root. The work is late stage in DNSOP and I would expect to go to last-call and publication. This means that we can also expect deployment soon after, or even proceeding publication. DITL style infrequent capture would be useful but its possible a less costly mechanism to construct a measurement exists: I am unsure if the current RSAC002 captures this, certainly the RCODE-VOLUME measure would provide it in aggregate, but because it's dissociated from the resolver its hard to do any more qualified analysis except to say 'it dropped'. Because the change would herald a shift in the volume of undelegated (bogus) queries to the root and also reduce pressure in the known bad cases like .local, it has impacts on other policy questions under the oversight of the ICANN. It goes to that borderline between operations, and zone content. -George

[rssac-caucus] RSSAC Caucus Tools Collaboration
by Wes Hardaker March 12, 2017

March 12, 2017

In past caucus meeting discussions we've agreed that it would be nice to have a common repository for those that are developing tools related to the root server system, be them RSSAC-002 statistics processing or anything else. To that extent, I've had a new mailing list created and a github organization. If you're interested in participating in this work and collaborating with peers about tools, please respond and I'll have you added to the mailing list. mailing list: rssac-tools(a)icann.org github: https://github.com/rssac-caucus If you have specific proposals for work you'd like to do, plan on discussing it with people at the RSSAC Caucus meeting in Chicago if you'll be attending, or otherwise you can send it to the mailing list once everyone is subscribed. We'll discuss organizing and creating repositories for code at that time. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI
