Today is “World IPv6 Day”. Having integrated IPv6 in the initial design of CommunityDNS‘ initial platform design we understand the value IPv6 brings to users of the Internet. Not only will this allow for needed expansion, it serves to ensure new applications and new users to the Internet will all have a place at this global digital [...]

2010 Year in Review
2010 was a busy year for the Internet in general and was a wonderfully busy year for CommunityDNS. As 2011 begins we can’t help but reflect on the various milestones reached within the CommunityDNS family. Along with the Internet’s two major developments, being DNSSEC and IDNs, other items of note for 2010 include DNS Resilience, [...]

DNS – The Basis for Billions
In the midst of “Cyber Monday”, the day traditionally seen as one of the year’s busiest days for online shopping, it is only appropriate to examine the importance DNS plays for online economies. With DNS being at the heart of Internet connectivity it is easy to understand why DNS is important to the growing health [...]

“Capacity” — The hidden word?
What is so secret about the word, “Capacity”? As I read and talk with people I realize the word, “capacity” is typically missing from the DNS discussion. “Capacity” and “Security” are the two cornerstones to maximizing DNS resilience; both of which are typically missing from the DNS discussion. Have you seen a single DNS node [...]

(click image to enlarge) Capacity and scalability are necessary in managing DNSSEC and D/DoS. Capacity, necessary for maintaining operations during D/DoS attacks, is also necessary for increased traffic due to DNSSEC deployment. Scalability is highly important, as DNSSEC is deployed not only will greater traffic levels will be encountered, greater demand will be placed on [...]

Important due to increased traffic from DNSSEC implementation During our work with the DNS Infrastructure Resilience Task Force research yielded 770 different DDoS attacks occurred around the globe on 6 June, 2009. On average research revealed the probability of 1,300 DDoS attacks happening every day, equaling roughly 3% of the Internet’s daily traffic. During the [...]
