Estimation of domain name system ( DNS ) server load distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Domain name system (DNS) resolution service is usually provisioned by multiple authoritative servers for performance and robustness. Estimating the query load distribution among multiple authoritative servers is one of the key issues arising with DNS server load balancing and optimization. We propose an analytical model of Round-Trip-Time (RTT)-sensitive server selections consisting of cache servers, authoritative servers and clients, which makes it possible to infer DNS server load accurately. A DNS server fingerprint approach is then proposed to identify RTT-sensitive server selections from BIND’s. Finally, we present a server load estimation method based on server selection classification. Under BIND server selection algorithm, the solution of the server selection model is obtained using iteration method, which is validated by the simulation results.

An Efficient Web Server Optimization Technique Based on DNS
A group of web-server system can be deployed to support high request rate. The Domain Name System (DNS) servers act as a mediator between the client and web-servers. It dispatches the client request among the web-servers through the URL-name to IP-address mapping mechanism. In this paper, we propose a group of web-server system arranged in the multiple logical ring connection, in which the DNS ...
متن کاملDNS-based Internet Client Clustering and Characterization
This paper proposes a novel protocol which uses the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) to partition Web clients into disjoint sets, each of which is associated with a single DNS server. We de ne an L-DNS cluster to be a grouping of Web Clients that use the same Local DNS server to resolve Internet host names. We identify such clusters in real-time using data obtained from a Web Server in conjunc...
متن کاملEfficient State Estimators for Load Control Policies in Scalable Web Server Clusters
Replication of information across a server cluster provides a promising way to support popular Web sites. However, a Web server cluster requires some mechanism for directing requests to the best server. One common approach is to use the Domain Name Server (DNS) as a centralized scheduler. However, address caching mechanisms and the non-uniformity of the load from different client domains compli...
متن کاملSecurity for Future Internet Architecture - Motivation from DNSSEC
DNS has a long history of being the primary target of malicious network attacks. These attacks take advantage of the weakness that the domain name mapping information is not authenticated. This motivates the need of security global infrastructure for future internet architecture. DNSSEC is a secure extension of DNS, and is considered as one of the most important mechanisms for critical informat...
متن کاملSCIT-DNS: Critical infrastructure protection through secure DNS server dynamic updates
Domain Name Systems (DNS) provide the mapping between easily remembered host names and their IP addresses. While domain name information is typically created and updated off-line, dynamic DNS updates allow clients to manage domain names online, in real time. The current secure DNS standards (DNSSEC) require private keys to be kept online to sign dynamic updates, leaving private keys subject to ...
