by Andrew McConachie Sept. 12, 2019

Sept. 12, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The RSSAC Workplan states that the RSSAC should update the FAQ every year by December. <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-work-plan-01apr19-en.pdf> I’ve placed the current RSSAC FAQ into a Google doc. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rG35p77RwBZrQq0YII2NlInVdiApADJKVL8Rl6P…> I reorganized the questions into sections so it can have a table of contents. All other changes to it have been added as suggestions, so the diff represents what is new. The only new question is 2.7. Please provide any suggested edits by September 1st, 2019. Thanks, Andrew

Aug. 20, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus, RSSAC002v3 recommendation 3 states: "Measurements outlined in this document should be revisited in two years to accommodate changes in DNS technologies." <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-002-measurements-root-06j…> RSSAC002v3 was published in June 2016 so we are over due in revisiting it. The purpose of this mail is to solicit feedback on whether a new version of RSSAC002 is needed. If you feel there is a compelling reason for the RSSAC to produce a new version of RSSAC002 please reply all to this email.

Metrics work: sample measurements
by Paul Hoffman Aug. 8, 2019

Aug. 8, 2019

Greetings again. On the Metrics Work Party call earlier today, I said that I had been collecting measurements from a dozen VMs in data centers around the world. Here are the metrics from those results, in the format of the current document. Each day's report has v4/v6 and tcp/udp split out, and then combined. This will hopefully help the WP decide whether the thresholds will be for each of the four data points or over the four collected. On the technical side, each VM running the measurements is in a different Digital Ocean data center. In cities where there are multiple Digital Ocean presences, they are in physically separate data centers (not just different racks in the same data center). Those twelve are in NYC (x3), SFO (x2), AMS (x2), SIN, LON, FRA, TOR, and BLR. To be very clear, this is not at all meant to be a suggested eventual distribution, just a way for me to quickly get a sample world-wide setup. I also put just one day's worth in the document as a new appendix. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Paul Hoffman

by Wessels, Duane Aug. 8, 2019

Aug. 8, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, We will hold an RSS Metrics work party meeting tomorrow at 17:00 UTC. Here's brief agenda of topics that I would like to discuss. If you have anything to add please let myself or ICANN staff know at the start of the meeting. - Recap of decisions from previous meeting in Montreal - Document restructuring - new "Background & Scope" section - Probes & Vantage Points section - Examples moved to the end - Appendix of simulation results - Should published reports contain only pass/fail, or the metric's value (and precision)? - Report metrics separately for UDP/TCP/v4/v6? - Need recommendations for probe / vantage point - quantity - location - connectivity etc. - Need plan for coming up with thresholds (and rationale) DW

Project update: Resolver testbed
by Paul Hoffman Aug. 7, 2019

Aug. 7, 2019

Greetings again. I have updated the resolver testbed for the Resolver Behavior Work Party. The latest version is at: https://github.com/icann/resolver-testbed The major improvements are that the testbed not supports IPv6 for all parts, and new versions of resolver packages have beend added. If you installed an earlier version of the testbed, you'll probably need to start over for this one because it uses a newer version of Debian for the resolvers and gateway. Please let me know if you have any questions! --Paul Hoffman

The agenda is still in development, but it will focus on the current Root Server System metrics work. We will provide robust remote participation via Zoom rather than limited travel support. However, if you would like to make your own arrangements to attend the workshop at your own expense, please respond to Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org<mailto:ozan.sahin@icann.org>>, by Friday, 2 August. This ensures the support team makes appropriate plans. We appreciate the contributions of the RSSAC Caucus to the mission and work of the RSSAC and hope this inclusive, practical approach enables broader participation in the upcoming workshop. Best regards, Ozan Sahin on behalf of Fred Baker and Brad Verd RSSAC Co-Chairs
