Hi Alejandro, One thing that has tripped me up in the past is the difference between sites and instances. Each RSI has multiple sites and each site can have 1-to-many instances. What you see on the map is sites, not instances. At the bottom of the page for each RSI there is a link to JSON data and that is what the world map gets drawn from. So to rephrase your question would be; How often do RSOs update their JSON files hosted at root-servers.org <http://root-servers.org/>? I don’t know the answer to this question, but hopefully this helps clarify a little. Thanks, ANdrew

Hello there,

Hope this is a good place to ask this :-) difficult to imagine a better place.

Excuse my question, I promise that I ask it 100% in good faith. My question is: how reliable/accurate the page: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://root-servers.org__;!!PtGJab4!_0HDIENRayi... [root-servers[.]org] is?.

I mean, I assume that the information is correct, you (not pointing anybody in particular) try to keep it as updated as possible but sometimes I have been told that there are countries that have X root servers but on root-servers.org it says that they have N. I guess the information is not updated immediately but approximately how much time to update a country/city it takes when a new root server is installed/removed?

Are there any chances for example a root server got broken 3 years ago still listed (or vice verse, got installed but not listed)?.

Thanks again,

Alejandro,
