ISC Announces Start of OARC Operations

RIPE NCC working with ISC to protect the Internet's global Domain Name System (DNS)

The Internet Software Consortium (ISC) has initiated the non-profit, member-based Operations, Analysis, and Research Center (OARC) to protect the Internet's global Domain Name System (DNS). As part of this effort, the OARC collects and analyses traffic flows on key nameservers in order to distinguish normal versus abnormal operation. The OARC will be working closely with the RIPE NCC's DNS Monitoring (DNSMon) program and other data collection efforts.
