Enabling Anycast in the Research Root (EARR)

摘要

This final report summarizes the objectives for the EARR project (FA8750-17-2-0096) and the technical progress made against those objectives. The research objective of the EARR project was to (1) improve our understanding of anycast and its role in defending DNS (Domain Name System) servers against Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, (2) improve anycast and instrumentation at B-Root, and (3) improve understanding of DNS leakage and privacy. EARR accomplished those objectives, producing research reports that document the role of anycast in DDoS defense, deploying anycast at B-Root for the first time (with deployment to a third site underway at end-of-contract), and supporting analysis of DNS datasets from JAS Advisors for DNS leakage and privacy, and distributing those datasets through the DHS IMPACT program.
