[RSSAC Caucus] Question about root-servers.org

[Andrew McConachie]

Hi Alejandro,

One thing that has tripped me up in the past is the difference between sites and instances. Each RSI has multiple sites and each site can have 1-to-many instances. What you see on the map is sites, not instances.

At the bottom of the page for each RSI there is a link to JSON data and that is what the world map gets drawn from. So to rephrase your question would be; How often do RSOs update their JSON files hosted at root-servers.org <http://root-servers.org/>?

I don’t know the answer to this question, but hopefully this helps clarify a little.

Thanks,
ANdrew

I guess the information is not updated immediately but approximately how much time to update a country/city it takes when a new root server is installed/removed?
