DNS Performance Testbed Design

Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) is building a testbed that will be used to make full-scale 
measurements of the performance of DNS servers and protocols on the same scale as global root 
and TLD servers. This brief document describes the design of that testbed and explains the 
various design decisions. This work is sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation 
via grant NSF OARC DNS SCI CISE SCI-0427144.
