12. DITL crunching for ICANN's gTLD collision study

Jim Reid (RTFM LLP)

The DITL data sets for 2012 and 2013 were analysed this summer to get quantitative data on how often queries for new gTLDs appeared at the root servers. Processing this data in the time available presented a number of challenges. Here's an overview of what was done, how it was done and the initial findings. Some of these identify potential subjects for further study and these are explained too.

16. Abusing Resources to Process 7.5TB of PCAP Data

Roy Hooper (Demand Media)

The publication of the Interisle report on "Name Collisions in the DNS" created significant challenges for anybody wishing to respond to the study itself or to analysis possible mitigation strategies. A donation of additional hardware was made to facilitate the analysis of the data used in the Interisle report by DNS-OARC members. Extracting and analyzing the data from DITL data sets is...

5. Regional Affinity for Applied for gTLD Strings

Andrew Simpson (Verisign)

10/5/13, 2:45 PM

Using new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) to add semantics to the DNS root is a semantic enhancement to the Internet's oldest namespace. However, it is because DNS is such a trusted resource that prudence is warranted in any major change. To this end, we have conducted a preliminary study of potential implications of the introduction of new gTLDs. This presentation will focus on specific...

8. A possible methodology for evaluating new TLD delegations for risk

Andrew Sullivan (Dyn)

10/5/13, 3:10 PM

In the current round of expansion of the root zone, a number of applications appear to conflict with private name spaces that are actually in use on the Internet. This talk presents an overview of a procedure that allows evaluation of when it is "safe" to delegate a name, given that risk of conflict. The procedure begins with the assumption that the Interisle report to ICANN ("Name Collision...
