[Podcast] Measuring the use of DNS over IPv6
Geoff Huston's analysis of DNS over IPv6 highlights regional and network variances, questioning the reliability of IPv6-only DNS for future operations.
MAIN POINTS
- DNS operation over IPv6 shows significant geographic and network variances.
- The study raises concerns about the reliability of IPv6-only DNS.
- Measuring DNS over IPv6 presents unique challenges.
- Findings suggest reconsideration of future operational practices based on IPv6-only DNS.
TAKEAWAYS
- IPv6-only DNS may not yet be reliable for guiding future operations.
- Geographic and network differences impact DNS performance over IPv6.
- Current measurement methods may need adaptation for IPv6 DNS.
- Further research is necessary to address IPv6 DNS reliability concerns.
