Deployment of DNSSEC in the Root Zone: Impact Analysis
On January 27, 2010, ICANN and Verisign began a phased rollout of DNSSEC in the root zone. DNS-OARC was contracted by ICANN to co-ordinate data collection from the root zone servers during the rollout and to provide analysis of three key changes: changes in reply sizes, potential signs of path MTU issues, and changes in TCP query rates.
DNS-OARC collected data from nine distinct phases of the rollout including pre and post rollout baselines, the six phased introductions of the DURZ across the root-servers, and, finally, for a period surrounding the July 15th distribution of the validatable, production, signed root zone and the publication of the root zone trust anchor.
This activity resulted in 17.4 TB of compressed pcap files which are available to DNS-OARC members for further research and analysis.
Some of the data has been presented at various conferences and here on the website but we are pleased to announce the availability of the final report.

Call for Nominees - 2010 OARC Board of Directors
Now that we have venue and accommodations confirmed for our Fall Workshop in Denver, our attention switches to the AGM and the elections for the Board of Directors.
DNS-OARC has two seats on the board which are up for election this year. We are looking for nominations for candidates willing to serve a two-year term on the Board and contribute to the continued growth of OARC. The Board meets monthly, by teleconference, to review DNS-OARC operations. We expect our directors to actively contribute to the various ongoing, email based, discussions and provide feedback as needed.
An ideal candidate will be one with the business experience to help formulate strategy and guide the policy that drives DNS-OARC. To be eligible, a candidate must be from an DNS-OARC Member in good standing.
If you would like to nominate (or self-nominate) a candidate, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with a brief background. We will be asking nominees for a statement of interest along the lines of what was done last year (https://www.dns-oarc.net/node/180).
Cut off for nominations is September 30th.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

DNS-OARC Public Comment on ICANN's DNS-CERT Business Case
On February 12th, 2010, ICANN issued a invitation for Public Comment on a proposed DNS-CERT. The original invitation can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-12feb10-en.htm and the list of current public comments maybe be found at http://forum.icann.org/lists/dns-cert-proposal/
DNS-OARC's submission follows:
DNS Operations, Analysis and Research Center
DNS-OARC Public Comment on ICANN's DNS-CERT Business Case
DNS-OARC http://www.dns-oarc.net was established in 2004 to address a forseen and growing need to improve the stability, security and understanding of the Internet's DNS infrastructure. Initially funded by the Internet Systems Consortium and a National Science Foundation grant, it is now an established nonprofit with over 60 DNS registries, registrars, operators, researchers and vendors comprising its membership.
DNS-OARC's Capabilities
In the 6 years since its inception, DNS-OARC has developed a number of capabilities with which to fulfill its mission. Many of these are in established widespread use by the DNS operator community, and have contributed both to the response to specific large-scale incidents the global DNS infrastructure has faced, and to the standards of knowledge and best practice within the wider community. Many of these capabilities are compatible with the mission of DNS-CERT, and should be considered as resources that DNS-OARC can "bring to the table" of DNS-CERT's mission.
Partnership with Existing Initiatives
There are various global initiatives that resemble a CERT-like organization. DNS-OARC wishes to draw attention to their existing
activities and emphasize the important of working collectively with them.
DNS-OARC Position on a Global DNS-CERT
It is DNS-OARC's view that in order for DNS-CERT to have some impact as a CERT, there needs to be a constituency for it to operate in, including some form of jurisdiction over that constituency, for it to be effective. A CERT needs to gain trust from outside constituencies and other CERTs, in order to share incidents and effectively mitigate threats. This can not be dictated top down, or by unilateral proclamation.
DNS-OARC encourages education and awareness in mitigation of threats and handling incidents, and welcomes ICANN's raising the profile of the need for this. We feel it is necessary that this awareness is developed inside organizations that already have a responsibility for parts of the DNS community (such as TLD registries). Subsequently, these organizations can join already established vetted communities like FIRST or DNS-OARC.

DITL 2010 Data Collection
A Day in the Life of the Internet is a large-scale data collection project undertaken by CAIDA and OARC every year since 2006. This year, the DITL collection will take place in April. If you would like to participate by collecting and contributing DNS packet captures, please subscribe to the DITL mailing list.
Participation Requirements
There are no strict participation requirements. OARC is happy to accept data from members and non-members alike. If you are a non-member, you may want to sign a Proprietary Data Agreement with us, but this is not required.
In terms of data sources, we are always interested in getting a lot of coverage from DNS Root servers, TLD servers, AS112 nodes, and "client-side" iterative/caching resolvers.
Types of DNS Data
Most of the data that we collect for DITL will be pcap files (e.g., from dnscap or tcpdump). We are also happy to accept other data formats such as BIND query logs, text files, SQL database dumps, and so on. We have an established system for receiving compressed pcap files from contributors. If you want to contribute data in a different format, please contact us to make transfer arrangements.
Pre-collection Checklist
Collecting Data with dnscap
If you don't already have your own system for capturing DNS traffic, we recommend using dnscap with some shell scripts that we provide specifically for DITL collection.
Next we'll be working with some scripts in the scripts directory. By default these will store pcap files in the current directory.
We provide scripts for using either (dnscap) or (tcpdump and tcpdump-split). In most cases dnscap should be easier. The tcpdump method is included for sites that would prefer it or cannot use dnscap for some reason. Note that the settings.sh configuration file described below includes variables for oth dnscap and tcpdump. Some variables are common to both, while some are unique to each.
Here is an example customized settings.sh file:
# Settings that you should customize # IFACES="fxp0" NODENAME="lgh" OARC_MEMBER="test"
When you're done customizing the settings, run capture-dnscap.sh as root:
$ sudo sh capture-dnscap.sh
When its time to do the actual DITL data collection, please uncomment the START_T and STOP_T variables in settings.
Collecting Data with tcpdump and tcpdump-split
Another collection option is to use tcpdump and our tcpdump-split program. The instructions are similar to the above.
Note that tcpdump won't capture IP fragments unless you add "or ip[6:2] & 0x1fff != 0" to your BPF_FILTER.
Start the capture with:
$ sudo sh capture-tcpdump.sh
Uncomment the START_T and STOP_T and use screen when its time for the real deal.
Contact the OARC Admin with any questions about DITL 2010.

L-Root now serving "DURZ" signed responses
In case you haven't heard, L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET began serving a DNSSEC-signed root zone today. DNS-OARC has been collecting data during the signed root rollout. The graph below shows how L-root's priming response size has increased during the last hour since it first began serving signed responses:
We're also watching the data below to see if there are noticeable increases in priming query rates after signing:
So far so good.
And here's something I should have thought to include initially. The following graph shows the increase in TCP queries for L-root. This is over all queries, not just priming queries:

DITL 2009 Data: Query rates to TLDs with wildcards
Last week someone asked me if the DITL 2009 data could shed any light on the amount of queries sent to TLDs with wildcards. While we do have data from a few TLD operators, it wouldn't really help to answer this question. However, I think we can get a "first-order approximation" by looking at the queries to root nameservers. Note that by looking at queries to the roots, we have no knowledge of client queries that are cache hits and those that are sent to the TLD nameservers due to cached referrals. We could perhaps turn to a passive DNS collection, such as SIE for a second opinion.
The long, tall graph below shows the query rate to each TLD seen in the DITL 2009 data. Those TLDs known to have wildcards are shown in blue. Note, however, that some TLDs (such as CN and KR) implement wildcards only for IDN names.

Another Look at Reply Size Test Data
A couple months ago I posted some data from the OARC reply size test service. Recently some folks have been wondering if the situation is getting better or staying the same. Today I created a graph that shows the monthly trend:
The data probably does not contain enough samples to ascertain any trends. The number of samples in each month is shown at the top of the bars. Also keep in mind that this data has a self-selecting bias. We're only measuring resolvers of people that choose to use this service.

When Intel's CEO since 2005 retires next year, the company will still face a problem it's barely begun to solve: finding a foothold in the mobile market.
Speaking yesterday at the Sanford C. Bernstein Conference, CEO Paul Otellini said looking outside the company for his successor would be a bad idea.
After an almost 40-year career with the chip giant, Otellini will step down as president and CEO in the second quarter of next year.
At his CES keynote speech, the Intel CEO announces a scad of new partners, shows some eye-candy demos, and introduces a barely coherent will.i.am.
Paul Otellini, who retired as the chip giant's CEO on Thursday, tells The Atlantic that he didn't do what it takes for Intel to be in Apple's initial smartphone.
Brian Krzanich's appointment to the top job may mean bigger chip manufacturing deals -- with Apple, for instance -- but watch closely for subtle shifts, too.
The chipmaking giant also appoints the head of its software business, Renee James, as president.
Paul Otellini pens a letter to the FCC in support of SoftBank's bid for Sprint, saying the U.S. needs added competition in the wireless space, reports Reuters.
Dadi Perlmutter, Intel's chief product officer, also tells CNET that devices running Intel's mainstream Core line of processors could sell for as low as $399 to $499.
Really cheap Intel-based tablets and laptops will run Google and Microsoft operating systems, sources tell CNET.

I Sold My Soul To SATAN And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt - Now, I could really really fucking deep here. I could say that "Satan" is the corporate world. The Man. And that you, as a worker, sell your soul to The Man on a daily basis to earn a crust. And then you spend that hard earned cash right here, in this very store to purchase this T-shirt. Thing is, if I said all that rubbish, it would make me a bigger wanker than I probably already am, so I'll shut up on that.
It is, of course, just a jolly play on words. I am sure we have all seen the "My parents went to Spain and all they got me was this lousy T-shirt" t-shirts. They're everywhere, in every city in every country in the world. Except, I'll bet, Azbekistan. Not got quite the same ring to it.
Right then, buy this t-shirt cos it is fucking hilarious and you will be the envy of all your mates and it might well get you some pussy / dick.

On Monday, German steel giant ThyssenKrupp announced that its supervisory board has approved the firm's financial statements for fiscal 2011-2012. Despite achieving its self-proclaimed target of earning 399 million euros in adjusted operating earnings before interest and taxes, the company has decided to take a couple of measures that may not please investors so well.
ThyssenKrupp has elected not to pay a dividend for the fiscal year. The company has also taken an impairment charge of 3.6 billion euros ($4.65 billion) at its Steel Americas unit.
ThyssenKrupp explained that because of "the advanced status of the sale process for the plants in Brazil and the USA the Steel Americas business area is classified as a discontinued operation for fiscal year 2011/2012. In this connection impairment charges of €3.6 billion were recorded for Steel Americas." Thus, it appears that the company expects to sell its Americas operations at a loss.
Going forward, ThyssenKrupp's board noted that all of its continuing operations will be profitable and predicted that adjusted EBIT in the current fiscal year will be "around 1 billion" euros, or $1.29 billion.

When you're on the front lines of battle, there's plenty to worry about. You have to be on constant alert for snipers, sneak attacks and hidden explosives.

When I hear the word "highlights," the images that come to mind aren't pretty. I see a woman with enough foil in her hair to wrap a Thanksgiving turkey. A guy with strategically placed strands of bleach -- streaks, if you will -- in his spikey, gelled hair. But when I see a salon's list of coloring services, there's an entire vocabulary beyond "frosted tips" and professional versions of Sun In that are a total mystery to me. We're in a world of ombre, balayage, and partial-foil-lowlights that may or may not be both weaved and sliced, but what does it all mean? read more

On a sunny day at Jackson Park, the Bearcats took their first step towards that goal with a 7-2 win over Alleghany in the first round of the 1-A dual team tennis playoffs.
"We didn't play as well as we could," Hendersonville coach Jon Sherrill said. "But all in all, it's a good day."
Though their play wasn't perfect, the Bearcats had enough to end the 2008 campaign of the visitors from Sparta.
"Sometimes kids respond to the level of competition and sometimes kids put too much pressure on themselves," Sherrill said. "I think we will be alright."
Hendersonville improves to 13-4 while Alleghany finishes its season with a 9-4 mark.
After winning four of the six singles matchups, Hendersonville's No. 2 doubles pairing of Robert Beal and Seth Horton clinched the Bearcats' victory with a convincing 10-0 win over Alleghany's Ben and Bobby Calhoun.
Beal was also dominate in singles play, thrashing Cody Miller 6-1, 6-2 in the No. 2 pairing.
Defending state singles champion Tyler Grove won his No. 1 matchup with the Trojans' Logan Oliver 6-0, 7-6 (7-3).
Grove and partner Brent Coburn had all they could handle in doubles. Hendersonville's No. 1 pairing escaped with a 10-8 victory over Oliver and Miller.
"Normally our No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles doesn't have as tough a time as they did today," Sherrill said, concerning his team's sluggish performance. "Some of our guys got in from traveling on Monday and some of the guys did a little too much work yesterday."
HHS was also victorious in the No. 3 and No. 6 singles matchups. At No. 3, Evan Kirkland defeated Matthew Walker 6-1, 6-3. The Bearcats' Tamir Shemesh claimed a 6-3, 6-3 win over Ben Calhoun at No. 6. Alleghany's Zach Gauldin defeated Coburn 3-6, 6-2, 10-2 at No. 4, and Bobby Calhoun defeated Horton 6-3, 6-0 at No. 5. Kirkland and Shemesh grabbed a victory in the No. 3 doubles match. The tandem beat Gauldin and Walker 10-4.
The Bearcats will host the Bishop McGuinness/Jordan-Matthews winner next Tuesday at Jackson Park.
