  • DNS Anycast for High Availability and Performance DNS Anycast Addressing for High Availability and by Timothy Rooney Performance Product Management Director
    White Paper DNS Anycast for High Availability and Performance DNS Anycast Addressing for High Availability and by Timothy Rooney Performance Product management director BT Diamond IP By Tim Rooney Director, Product Management BT Diamond IP www.btdiamondip.com DNS Anycast for High Availability and Performance By Tim Rooney, Director, Product Management Introduction We’ve all heard the mantra, “do more with less,” – for some of us to the point of numbness. But when it comes to mission-critical DNS name resolution services, any suggestion of skimping is likely to evoke defiance from those responsible for maintaining its availability and performance. One strategy, however, that can make the deployment of DNS services more efficient is the use of anycast addressing. This white paper shows how DNS servers can be deployed with anycast to achieve a number of benefits, including higher availability and resilience. Defining Anycast The term anycast refers to an IP address assigned to a set of interfaces (usually belonging to different nodes), any one of which can be the intended recipient. Anycast addresses are assigned from the same address space from which unicast addresses have been allocated. Thus, unlike private address space, one cannot visually differentiate a unicast address from an anycast address. An IP packet destined for an anycast address is routed to the nearest interface (according to routing table metrics) configured with the anycast address. The concept is that the sender doesn’t necessarily care which particular host, or in this case DNS server, receives the packet, just as long as one of those sharing the anycast address receives it.

    Anycasting the DNS John Crain Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers What is Anycast? ‣ “Anycast is a network addressing and routing scheme whereby data is routed to the "nearest" or "best" destination as viewed by the routing topology.” - Wikipedia ‣ unicast - IP address is a unique interface ‣ multicast - Multiple locations at same IP address all receiving packets. ‣ anycast - IP address points to multiple locations but only one visible. Limitations ‣ Because routing information can change! ‣ UDP protocols ‣ Short lived TCP sessions ‣ This sounds a lot like DNS packets :) ‣ Not good for longer TCP sessions ‣ Think of a web session that can last seconds or videostreaming that can last even longer! Why do it? ‣ Adds Capacity ‣ 2 x 100Mb is more than 1 x 100Mb ‣ Localizes trafc ‣ Means closer, hence faster replies ‣ During attacks it also localizes problems ‣ It’s FUN!!!! Is it hard? ‣ Not really but there are some considerations ‣ Managing the anycast instances takes some thought ‣ Need multiple IP address ranges... ‣ More on that.....

  • Ipv6 Addresses
    56982_CH04II 12/12/97 3:34 PM Page 57 CHAPTER 44 IPv6 Addresses As we already saw in Chapter 1 (Section 1.2.1), the main innovation of IPv6 addresses lies in their size: 128 bits! With 128 bits, 2128 addresses are available, which is ap- proximately 1038 addresses or, more exactly, 340.282.366.920.938.463.463.374.607.431.768.211.456 addresses1. If we estimate that the earth’s surface is 511.263.971.197.990 square meters, the result is that 655.570.793.348.866.943.898.599 IPv6 addresses will be available for each square meter of earth’s surface—a number that would be sufficient considering future colo- nization of other celestial bodies! On this subject, we suggest that people seeking good hu- mor read RFC 1607, “A View From The 21st Century,” 2 which presents a “retrospective” analysis written between 2020 and 2023 on choices made by the IPv6 protocol de- signers. 56982_CH04II 12/12/97 3:34 PM Page 58 58 Chapter Four 4.1 The Addressing Space IPv6 designers decided to subdivide the IPv6 addressing space on the ba- sis of the value assumed by leading bits in the address; the variable-length field comprising these leading bits is called the Format Prefix (FP)3.

  • Unicast Forwarding
    Unicast Forwarding • Unicast Forwarding, page 1 Unicast Forwarding The Enhanced Forwarding functionality consists of the following: • End Host Registration and Tracking: Leaf switch will intercept the ARP and DHCP packets and learns the IP to MAC binding for the host. In the case of virtualized environments, VDP may be used to track the VM moves. • End Host Route Distribution using BGP: MP-BGP is used within the Vinci fabric to distribute the IP reachability information across the leaf switches in the fabric. Route reflectors will be used for scalability purposes. • ARP and IPv6 ND Proxy: One of the goals of Vinci Enhanced forwarding is to eliminate flooding across the fabric. For this purpose, every leaf switch will act as a ARP/IPv6 ND proxy for all the hosts connected to the leaf switch. • Anycast Default Gateway: Leaf switches act as the default gateway for routing across subnets. All the leafs that handle a given subnet are configured with the same anycast IP address and MAC address. • Forwarding Behavior at Leaf switches: A fabric VLAN is allocated per tenant VRF in the Vinci fabric. BGP advertises the reachability of hosts attached to remote leafs to all the leaf nodes. Ingress leaf switch routes the traffic from the tenant VLAN to the egress leaf switch where the destination host is attached via the fabric VLAN. Egress leaf switch routes the traffic back to the tenant VLAN. This allow the platforms to optimize by scaling the FIB host route table without scaling the MAC address table. • Routing within the subnet: Leaf switch responds with the Anycast Default Gateway MAC to the ARP requests for hosts within the same subnet.

  • Introduction to IP Multicast Routing
    Introduction to IP Multicast Routing by Chuck Semeria and Tom Maufer Abstract The first part of this paper describes the benefits of multicasting, the Multicast Backbone (MBONE), Class D addressing, and the operation of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The second section explores a number of different algorithms that may potentially be employed by multicast routing protocols: - Flooding - Spanning Trees - Reverse Path Broadcasting (RPB) - Truncated Reverse Path Broadcasting (TRPB) - Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM) - Core-Based Trees The third part contains the main body of the paper. It describes how the previous algorithms are implemented in multicast routing protocols available today. - Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) - Multicast OSPF (MOSPF) - Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) Introduction There are three fundamental types of IPv4 addresses: unicast, broadcast, and multicast. A unicast address is designed to transmit a packet to a single destination. A broadcast address is used to send a datagram to an entire subnetwork. A multicast address is designed to enable the delivery of datagrams to a set of hosts that have been configured as members of a multicast group in various scattered subnetworks. Multicasting is not connection oriented. A multicast datagram is delivered to destination group members with the same “best-effort” reliability as a standard unicast IP datagram. This means that a multicast datagram is not guaranteed to reach all members of the group, or arrive in the same order relative to the transmission of other packets. The only difference between a multicast IP packet and a unicast IP packet is the presence of a “group address” in the Destination Address field of the IP header.

Anycast is a routing method in which incoming requests can be routed to a variety of diferent locations. The Journey • Why Anycast DNS – background history • Challenges – that we have faced • Deployment – what we have done • Confguration – the fun part • Performance & Security tuning – do’s & don’t Why Anycast DNS background history What we have faced ? 1. Existing DNS server OS version was about to obsolete 2. Resource utilization was always 95%-99% 3. When server was attacked with DDOS a. Query response delayed & most of the cases it stopped answering b. Unstable DNS service for user internet accesss 4. Log search was not administration friendly 5. No log options for Recursive query DNS Server – What we had Authoritative Recursive DNS Software resources Hardware resources CentOS 5 32 bit Core – 2 bind-utils-9.3.4-10.P1.el5 RAM – 4 GB ypbind-1.19-11.el5 HDD – Sata 7.2k RPM bind-libs-9.3.4-10.P1.el5 Why we choose Anycast • Because of the advantages – • users of an anycast service will always connect to the closest DNS server; This reduces latency, • if one server is being overly loaded, simply deploy another one in a location that would allow it to take some proportion of the overloaded server's requests; horizontal scaling. • We need to have 1 single IP for the Recursive DNS server all over Bangladesh.

  • Modeling and Analyzing Anycast and Geocast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
    (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol. 7, No. 9, 2016 Modeling and Analyzing Anycast and Geocast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks Fazle Hadi∗, Sheeraz Ahmed†, Abid Ali Minhas‡, Atif Naseer§ ∗ Preston University Kohat, Peshawar Campus, Pakistan † Preston University Kohat, Peshawar Campus, Pakistan ‡ Al Yamamah University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia § Science and Technology Unit, Umm Al Qura University, Saudi Arabia Abstract—Wireless technology has become an essential part of this era’s human life and has the capability of connecting virtually to any place within the universe. A mesh network is a self healing wireless network, built through a number of distributed and redundant nodes to support variety of applications and provide reliability. Similarly, anycasting is an important service that might be used for a variety of applications. In this paper we have studied anycast routing in the wireless mesh networks and the anycast traffic from the gateway to the mesh network having multiple anycast groups. We have also studied the geocast traffic in which the packets reach to the group head via unicast traffic and then are broadcasted inside the group. Moreover, we have studied the intergroup communication between different anycast groups. The review of the related literature shows that no one has considered anycasting and geocasting from gateway to the mesh network while considering the multiple anycast groups and intergroup communication. The network is modeled, simulated and analyzed for its various parameters using OMNET++ simulator. Keywords—Mesh Network; Anycast; Geocast; Routing; Unicast Fig. 1. Basic mesh architecture [21] I.
