Root Scaling Issues in New gTLDs

This document summarizes a study on scaling issues related to the expansion of the DNS root zone. The study was requested by ICANN's Board and assembled a team from SSAC, RSSAC, and ICANN staff. The study will model how changes to the root zone from things like DNSSEC, internationalized domains, IPv6 addresses, and new gTLDs could impact the operation and security of the root server system. A draft report will be published for public comment before the next ICANN meeting.

ƒ Draft report 31 August 2009


Š public review and comment prior to ICANN annual
meeting in late October 2009 5

How will root zone expansion affect


the operation of the root server
system?
ƒ Model-based analysis of root zone scaling issues
Š Compile a description of the complete root server system
• Provisioning side (update) and query side (lookup)
• Technical infrastructure and operational procedures
Š Model the relationships among different parts of the system
• How does changing something in one part affect each other part?
• Goal is quantitative model (as timeframe of study allows)

ƒ Factual/analytical tool for resolving concerns about root server


system security and stability as the root grows
