SIDN, the independent Dutch foundation responsible for the stable and secure operation of the .nl domain, approached provider LeaseWeb hosting integrate technology anycast DNS SIDN in the global IP network LeaseWeb. This would enable SIDN to strengthen the protection of the .nl domain and better ensure its continued availability.
The increased number of denial of service (DDoS) Distributed , especially the ferocity of these attacks, recently led SIDN to have its technology distributed anycast DNS " in the field "by parties wishing to make Internet-related, such as telecommunications and hosting providers. SIDN is first register in Europe to adopt this method to give additional protection to .nl top-level domain (TLD).
LeaseWeb, a global hosting provider with more than 60,000 servers under management specializing in dedicated and cloud hosting servers have responded favorably to the request for SIDN and immediately made the necessary data the center's facilities are available for free, making the company the first player in the market where the DNS anycast technology was delivered including a full-.nl name server. Technology is directly related to the IP backbone of LeaseWeb.
The major hosting providers
"The use of the .nl domain name is made safer by having our Anycast DNS technology hosted on a broader basis by Dutch Internet companies, "says Marc Groeneweg, IT project Manager at SIDN . "If the delivery of .nl SIDN services were to be hit by DDoS attacks, the .nl domain simply remain available by using the routing technology, which is available locally."
LeaseWeb was one of the first markets participants to be approached by SIDN because of the size of the hosting company and the scope of its IP network in the world. "As a hosting provider, LeaseWeb is simply huge in the industry," Groeneweg added . "The company is a top-10 player in the world, which makes it interesting for us to have our routing technology hosted by them. "
More participants
LeaseWeb provided NDIS with colocation rack space in one of its Dutch data centers, free of charge, including network capacity on its global IP network.
at this time, five other major Internet companies have also responded favorably to the request for SIDN to implement DNS anycast technology locally. Like all organizations want to have a knot in their own network, SIDN also placed node on the Internet Amsterdam Exchange (AMS-IX) , which is already used by eight Internet companies.
market participants approached by SIDN are required to comply with a number of qualifying criteria and technical requirements. For one thing, as LeaseWeb, they need to have a substantial volume because SIDN investment in the deployment of local needs routing technology to have a meaningful impact. In addition, SIDN expects the parties to perform their routing operations in full compliance with BCP 38 best practices ', to support IPv6 and, for example, to run an active policy against the "open resolvers" on their IP network, because these make the Internet even more vulnerable to DDoS attacks.
