There are more then 13 root servers – from ICANN
Posted on November 16th, 2007 by admin in Domain News | 1 Comment »
ICANN’s Kim Davies has refuted the common myth that there are 13 root servers all around the world in the ICANN blog yesterday.
"What there are is there are many hundreds of root servers at over 130 physical locations in many different countries. There are twelve organisations responsible for the overall coordination of the management of these servers."
Kim goes on to explain where the number 13 comes from:
There is a technical design limitation that means thirteen is a practical maximum to the number of named authorities in the delegation data for the root zone. These named authorities are listed alphabetically, from a.root-servers.net through m.root-servers.net. Each has associated with it an IP address (and shortly some will have more than one as IPv6 is further rolled out).
The majority of named authorities are spread across multiple cities, often multiple countries. The “I” root, for example, is located in 25 different countries. But ignoring the physical diversity, even those authorities that are just in one physical location — the reality is they are comprised of networks of multiple servers that handle the millions of DNS queries the root servers receive every hour.
Well that clears it up once and for all I guess.
