Release of Interisle and TNO reports on Root Scaling
18 September 2009
In February 2009, with Resolution 2009-02-03-04, the ICANN Board requested
the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC), the Security and
Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and the ICANN staff, including the IANA
team, to study the potential issues regarding the addition of IDNs, IPv6
addresses, DNSSEC and substantial numbers of new TLDs to the root zone. The
Terms of Reference for this study are at
http://www.icann.org/en/committees/dns-root/root-scaling-study-tor-05may09-en.htm
.
Interisle was selected to perform this study. In the course of their study,
they recommended that a modeling effort be undertaken with the assistance of
TNO. TNO produced a model and a companion report.
We are hereby releasing the Interisle report as delivered for public comment
and analysis as well as a covering note from the joint RSSAC/SSAC/ICANN
staff steering group for this study.
The steering group will be evaluating the report against the Terms of
Reference and preparing recommendations for the Board and the public.
The TNO model and simulation system is undergoing verification and will be
released, with the TNO report, soon.
