I want to add the following on "Government wanting to Improve General Internet Connectivity/Access" that was discussed in the "RSSAC: User Narratives for the Local Perspective Tool Work Party". Apologies if this is the wrong list (please point me to the right one if there is a different one for it). Though the currently described measurements appear weak, this topic itself is a real concern. In June 2018 I got a phone call from a person at meity.gov.in where they expressed that they were concerned about the number of root zone queries that were exiting India. In those days, routing was crappy too. I am in Chennai and there is an F instance in Chennai run by Cloudflare, and there was an ISC F instance in Chennai before that too. But my route to it went through Mumbai which is a far away city. It's like touching your nose circling your head. There are two aspects here: * The latency and performance of access (where a geographically distant root instance may have a smaller RTT and fewer hops) which may matter to end users as user experience * The concern from government about resolutions being dependent on infrastructure outside the country, which may matter to governments for reasons other than user experience We may not need to make measurements via resolvers for this. We may be able to assume that anyone may want to run a resolver, and measure RTT, hopcount?, manually look at NSIDs and any other metrics that anycast service operators use to check if users reach the closest/fastest pop to them. We can also figure out if users reach root instances in their own country or not (as much as this can be determined, perhaps by following the route). Mukund
