Re: Open Resolver Dataset Update

Tom,

The main criteria is the RCODE=0 vs RCODE=5 refused.

I exposed the Recursion Available bit this last week to cover more of the use cases, but many servers provide a very 
large referral to root.

You are correct in that your system doesn't provide that so should be less "visible" as a result.  I haven't coded 
everything to pull out that level of data from the responses.

Of the responding IPs, a fair percentage 89% respond with the RA bit set.  I'm working to close the gap on exposing the 
direct data of those last 11% in a more detailed bit of information, including if it provides a root referral or 
otherwise.

Hope this helps,

- Jared

Jared,

If you mean there can be a referral with RCODE=0 and Recursion Available
= 0, you'll need a third column actually documenting if there is a
referral.

This server is listed in ORP:

$ dig www.google.be @195.160.166.139

RCODE=0, Recursion available=0:
      
http://openresolverproject.org/search.cgi?mode=search6&search_for=195.160.166.0%2F24

Hence my question, what is it doing wrong?

The referral, including a referral to root can be quite large. Even larger than answering a normal query. I have 
broken the data out for the purpose of letting people identify the IPs that provide that.

As far as I know, responding either NOERROR or REFUSED produces packets of the same size.
