Recommendations Regarding Signing Root Zone Name Server Data (R-1B)

| Recommendations Regarding Signing Root Zone Name Server Data (R-1B) | RZERC002 | CLOSED |
Description:
The RZERC recommends that ICANN org conduct the further studies called for in Recommendation 2 of RSSAC028 and focus on these aspects of the research: Understand and document the behavior of authoritative DNS software currently in use by root server operators with respect to a signed priming response. This should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the size of a signed priming response. Would this result in a lot of UDP fragmentation? Should root server operators expect to see a significant increase in TCP traffic?
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed | Phase Change | This Advice Item is now Closed |
| Phase 5 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 5 | |
| Phase 5 | Phase Update | Based on the understanding of the Advice, this item is considered complete. | |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | RZERC confirmation of understanding. | |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Sent updated understanding to AP for review. |
| Phase 2 | Board Understanding | ICANN org understands this recommendation to be a request from RZERC for the org to complete the work specified in RSSAC028, and that RZERC is not requesting any additional work beyond that specified in RSSAC028. As this item contains no new action for the ICANN Board, the item will be considered closed. The RZERC can monitor progress of RSSAC028 by accessing the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) Advice Status page (https://features.icann.org/board-advice/rssac). |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Received understanding from SME. | |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | In RZERC002, the RZERC was acknowledging that the work requested in RSSAC028 has not been completed and that the RZERC believes that the results of the work requested in RSSAC028 would be helpful in informing changes recommended to the Root Zone. As such, the RZERC would defer questions about terminology to the RSSAC. | |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Understandings sent to RZERC. | |
| Phase 2 | Board Understanding | ICANN org understands this to be a request to identify the authoritative DNS software (vendor and version) currently in use by RSOs, then research how this set of software would be affected by each proposal for signing the root zone nameservers. Such research would cover the size of responses to priming queries coming from each type of authoritative server software when the query has the DO bit set. ICANN org requests clarification from RZERC on how likelihood of UDP fragmentation should be measured and what RZERC would consider “a lot” and “significant”. | |
| Phase 2 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 2 | |
