Root Zone Scaling Measurements at L-Root
3 April 2013
ICANN is the operator of L-Root, one of the thirteen root servers in the
Domain Name System (DNS). To better be able to identify any performance
impact on L-Root caused by a larger root zone, work has been done to
implement additional instrumentation of L-Root's infrastructure.

A plan for implementation of this additional measurement was published
<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-07dec12-en.htm>
in December 2012.

Statistics about growth of the root zone
<http://dns.icann.org/services/root-zone-scaling-report-zone-contents/>
were published on 31 January 2013.

Results of measurements of L-Root's performance
<http://dns.icann.org/services/root-zone-scaling-root-zone-system/>  were
published on 31 March 2013.

All statistics published in the two companion reports update weekly.
Comments and questions on the data presented are very welcome -- please send
