[AfrICANN-discuss] Africa likely to be shaken off the internet

[Douglas Onyango]

Rebecca,
The findings of the Augmentation study pointed out some problems, including:-
1. Fall back to TCP because of truncation
2. High Memory usage on servers.
3. Increase in latency especially with BIND and big zone files (100,000+) among others.

I do agree that some of the loads/tests are not practicle at the moment and even some can be mitigated, but overall IMHO telling ourselves that we won't be affected would be wrong.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the Problem.

Hi SM,
I just wanted to post the link, so the titles may not have been well coordinated, I talked to Bill, who did his research in Africa for "B" he thinks Africa will be affected, Africa may not think so.

I am just a messenger; whether it will be affected or not, we can wait and see.

Hi Becky,



The title of the article says "Root zone changes may shake up Net in Africa".  Your subject line says something different.  Even if "developing countries are often the dumping ground for the outdated hardware and software", that does not mean that Africa will be shaken off the Internet.




There is some information at https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/status.html if you want to test DNSSEC.
