Description

Help crowd source a high level estimate of the "size" of the world-wide DNS system, in order to help compare the growth and size of the DNS root, to the growth and size of the DNS overall.

If you were to draw four clouds, representing the traffic to All Authoritative Servers, All Resolvers, All TLDs, and the DNS Root, what would be the relative size of each cloud? It would be helpful to be able to display this in order to convey to less-technical audiences the relative size of each of these systems.
