    Finally someone who actually explaned DNS propely. All other youtubers would just talk about how DNS is a book and nothing else. Some did go into more details, but no one covered the big picture like you did.

    I have been confused about this question for a long time. Is the resolver the ISP or the getaddrinfo() function executed in our local machine? Or Is it depended on what type of query you run, iterative or recursive?

      In Windows you have a service that is called "DNS Service" this module of software is your DNS resolver.

    • @TechsavvyProductions
      @TechsavvyProductions  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Debbie thanks for the great question! There are over 750 copies of the "master" database for the root DNS system. Only the 12 operators can make a changes to the master copy. Those changes are pushed out to the 750 "instances".

    • @DG-zu4iy
      @DG-zu4iy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TechsavvyProductions I see. so when the operators make changes to a master copy, those changes have to be reflected on the 750 copies? So an "instance" is the same as a "copy" of the master database?Hence "750 instances"

    Another question sorry! For some reason, I am so interested in these servers. I think it's pretty cool for a newbie tech student!
    Regarding the DNSlytics, do you have the paid version of it? I wanted to download it for my chrome but I noticed there are two options. Paid and free version.
    Also, regarding what you said at time stamp 8:47 about the "magic" of how "lowes" can be hosted in the Netherlands yet I have fast traffic back and forth from here...do you have a video that explains that? Content Delivery Network (Akami International B.V.).
    Thank you for taking the time and the opportunity for me to grow based on your knowledge!

    First of all thank-you for this great in depth demonstration but what I didn't understand was that 13 root servers, why only 13 and then you said some 795 or something root servers? Can you plz explain that to me. Thanks in advance.

    • @TechsavvyProductions
      @TechsavvyProductions  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question, there are 13 "master" copies of the database that represent the "root" of DNS, but those 13 copies of the DNS root database are installed all over the world on hundreds of servers! The size of UDP data packets means that there's only room to include the IP addresses of 13 root servers in a single packet. Originally that meant a limit of 13 root server machines, and it gives us the root server names A-M. But thanks to the anycasting technique, each root server address can be mirrored on multiple physical servers in multiple diverse locations.

    • @TechsavvyProductions
      @TechsavvyProductions  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Normally you can obtain IP addresses from your company's ISP, take a look at the information provided by www.arin.net/ ARIN is responsible for all IP address allocations to everyone in Canada, US. If you are not in these countries check out www.iana.org/numbers for the registry for your country.

    • @TechsavvyProductions
      @TechsavvyProductions  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question! No, root DNS servers are under tight control of ICANN and the various organizations that run the 13 root server names. They are the only folks that make changes to the root DNS database file.

    So DNS servers are expensive because they have so many DNS queries by Internet users?

    • @TechsavvyProductions
      @TechsavvyProductions  ปีที่แล้ว

      I depends, many root servers are very inexpensive and hosted by many companies and organizations and even governments all over the world. But if these DNS servers are located in an Internet Exchange Point (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point) they will be very expensive. Keep in mind you can build a DNS server under $400.00 and yes it will be limited in how many queries it can handle.

      Thank you for your support, it is appreciated! They are attacked on a very regular basis and recently some security researchers discovered a problem DNS architecture that had someone else discovered it, they could have quickly brought the entire internet down, using a single DNS query packet. This malformed packet could bring a DNS server into high CPU utilization for up to 16 hours. www.athene-center.de/fileadmin/content/PDF/Technical_Report_KeyTrap.pdf
