[dns-wg] Re: More Than 70% of DNS Root Queries Are Junk

Meanwhile, in other news, I have *shocking* revelations about the religious beliefs of the pope and the toilet habits of bears in the woods. FWIW the ISOC article ignores many categories of junk traffic at the root: queries from RFC1918 address space, queries that set the RD bit, DDoS attacks, etc. IMO all queries that come to the root that aren't from well behaved resolving servers should be classified as junk*. These are supposed to be the only things that have a good reason to be querying the root, modulo the probe that gather stats on response times, availability, propagation of updates. * That definition of junk would account for something like 99% of root server traffic.
