Given the discussion on the "underserved" narrative, we should revisit these bullets later.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=2 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>"Underserved" use case.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>This use case was re-written to remove the math of the proposed analysis and focus on what data should be collected to support a reasonable analysis. A few measurements had been removed (traceroute and query to non-root authoritative servers), but there was good support for putting these measurements back in. It was suggested that the queries to all Root Server Identities (RSIs) query for “version.bind” along with requesting the NSID from the server. (something like 'dig @<RSI> +nsid CHAOS TXT version.bind'). For comparing round-trip times of root servers versus "something else", it was suggested that queries be made to well-known, open DNS services such as CloudFlare or Google DNS. Queries should be for some record that these organizations are authoritative for.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=3 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Relation to RIPE Atlas<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>While it is not a requirement or driving factor, measurement parity between this tool and RIPE Atlas probes would be ideal.
