[afnog] Root Zone DNSSEC Deployment Technical Status Update

[Oluwaseun Ojedeji]

I have been following this update and was wondering....Well i may be wrong
as i may not have enough knowledge right now about DNSSEC. But what i can
tell is that anything in networking that has to do with SEC(security) in it
like IPSEC may increase the data size in one way or the other. Is there any
significant impact that this upgrades will have on our up/down link speed.
We are trying to utilise our bandwidth in the best possible way we can.
I also see that this has to do with root servers so may i assume that its
actually the headache of those that have DNS server that we use...As in..
End user(client) >>DNS server(ISP) >> root DNS ?

Regards
