[dns-wg] "adding IPv6 glue to root zone" document

Hi,

Thanks very much for that document. It is very useful for the
community.

I have only 2 comments concerning Appendix A:

1) Among the 39 mentioned name servers, why are there duplicates (same
names with the same addresses, see for example d.dns.jp (3 times) or
ns.nic.ir (2 times) ?

2) As far as I know, the IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses are irrelevant in
this context (see *.dotdm.net et *.netdns.com), do these name servers
have regular (2001 or 3ffe) IPv6 addresses ?


On the other hand, I would like to share with you the follwing
document which focuses on DNS response size calculation (from root
servers) and name compression for TLDs with IPv6 taken into account. A
part of the document sections deal with the general case, so they can
apply to any TLD. The remaining sections contain calculations for .FR
and may be easily extended to any other TLD.  If you have any comment,
suggestion or correction, don't hesitate to send them to:
ipv6tech at nic.fr.

Please find the document at:

Mohsen.
