Description

In order to resolve a name, DNS resolvers need to resolve the names’ zone, its parent zones, as well as their name servers, leading to a potentially large number of transitive dependencies.
During normal operation, typically only a subset of these dependencies is needed, as the first authoritative answer is accepted.
However, in the presence of inconsistencies between name servers, this behavior may lead to seemingly random and hard-to-find problems.

In this talk, we present a large scale dataset featuring 812M full domain resolutions and over 85B DNS queries. We hope this dataset will be of use for the community.
