1 "rootprobe" is a program which measures the response time of the DNS root
2 name servers. This program was developed to collect measurement data from
3 many locations around the world.
5 Our goal is to collect measurement data to understand the current status
6 of the root servers. (e.g., analyzing the performance and stability of the
7 servers, identifying under-served regions.)
8 The data will be a basis for discussions on various issues such as
9 - how to improve the root server system as a whole
10 - possible future reconfiguration of the root servers
11 The results will be reported to the ICANN DNS Root Server System Advisory
12 Committee. The data is used only for a research purpose.
