Description

Using queries issued by our test environment targetted at the root servers we analyse DNS traffic observed at the resolver used by the client, the anycast nodes at which the queries arrived and correlate this to the geographical location of the originating client to analyse the effectiveness of the routing system in delivering traffic to the closest Anycast node. As a by-product we take a casual, but quantitative, look at the various undelegated TLDs in use by the client's environment DNS environment.
