Dear All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m having a hard time understanding the difference between a ‘root server’ and a ‘root server identity’. In the draft RSSAC026v2 it says a ‘root server’ is an entry point to the RSS, and a ‘root server identity' is the DNS name of a 'root server’.
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Yet on page 13 of the Draft RSS Metrics doc it says:</div>
<div>"The requirement of k=8 for reliable operation (of the current system) reflects the number of
<b class="">root server identities</b> reachable by the vantage points, which is different than the number of anycast instances that may be operating.”</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Then on page 14 it says:</div>
<div>"Furthermore, note that a single<b class=""> [root server] identity</b> refers to the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the corresponding service."</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>The definitions in RSSAC026v2 do not match the usage in the draft RSS Metrics doc.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>One way to resolve this would be to deprecate the usage of ‘root server’ and completely replace it with ‘root server identity’. However, this would require edits to both documents since the draft RSS Metrics doc also uses ‘root servers’ in a few places. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Ideas?</div>
