At the network level, there are 2 methods of deploying DNS: Unicast and Anycast.

Unicast DNS

Anycast DNS has significant advantages over Unicast DNS. With Unicast DNS, information is routed to a single network destination, which is identified by a unique address; inherently, this means there is only one path data can take to reach its intended destination. Unicast methodology employs a one-to-one relationship between the destination address and the network endpoint — each destination address is only able to identify a single endpoint. If a Unicast DNS server goes down, name server resolution directed at it will be non-functional which may result in descreased performance and possibly service disruptions.

Anycast DNS

On the other hand, IP Anycast DNS provides multiple routes that queries can travel to reach their intended destination — there are a group of possible receivers, which are all identified by the same end destination address. Anycasting employs a one-to-one-to-many association; data is routed topologically to the nearest geographic node, which increases performance. Anycast DNS methodology also has the benefit of redundancy; if a DNS node goes down down, another can immediately take over and respond to queries for it. Anycasting replicates the same DNS data to multiple servers around the world, which also provides protection in the case of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In terms of reliability, speed, and security, Anycast DNS is generally a better choice.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the method by which meaningful hostnames such as “www.google.com” are translated into physical IP addresses needed by computers to communicate; DNS is fundamental to the operation of the Internet. If an organization loses its DNS capabilities, their hostnames will be inaccessible to users — even if the servers are functioning!

Additionally, DNS can be a potential security threat if hacked and hostnames are redirected to unauthorized servers. Because of the mission critical nature of DNS, many organizations have elected to outsource their DNS needs to providers that can typically ensure better availability, improved security, and faster performance.

Akamai

Akamai is based in Cambridge, MA. It was incorporated in 1998 after its founders developed a solution at MIT for improving Internet content delivery performance. It provides CDN services to one out of three Global 500 companies, and delivers 15-30% of all Web traffic. Yahoo! was its first customer, and many large media companies use the Akamai CDN. Additionally, Rackspace and HP resell Akamai CDN as part of their cloud offerings. Akamai has 3000+ employees, and revenue for 2012 was $1.374 billion. Akamai does not provide specific details about the location of CDN PoPs, but it has publicly disclosed the size of its CDN network as over 127,000 servers in 81 countries. In some cases, Akamai partners with ISPs to maintain edge servers within their data centers, thus decreasing ISP bandwidth costs while improving performance for end users. In addition to CDN, Akamai also offers managed DNS hosting. Key differentiators include the largest CDN network in the world, a track record supporting some of the largest media clients, and serving Internet content at a massive scale.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Overview

AWS Route 53 is part of Amazon’s suite of cloud related services. Amazon was founded as an online bookstore in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, and the Amazon.com site launched in 1995. Amazon currently has 33,700 employees and earned $32.204 Billion dollars in revenue in 2010. It is speculated that AWS will be the first $1 billion cloud computing service.

CloudFlare

CloudFlare is a privately held company based in San Francisco, CA. It was founded in 2009 and announced the launch of its public beta at TechCrunch Disrupt in 2010. The founders are former engineers for Project Honey Pot, a system for identifying spammers. CloudFlare has raised over $22 million in funding since 2009. It has 35+ employees and unknown revenue. CloudFlare manages its own IP Anycast network consisting of 23 global points of presence (PoPs), with 10 in the US, 8 in Europe, 4 in Asia and 1 in Australia. Services include CDN, managed DNS, and some proprietary capabilities built on top of those services, including automated security and optimization. Key differentiators include extensive experience dealing with and mitigating DDoS attacks (including one of the largest attacks in Internet history, a 300 Gbps attack in 2013 against Spamhous); management of its own global IP Anycast network; a free starter plan; and seamless add-on capabilities, including automatic security and failover protection, and website optimization.

Alexa Top 10,000 Sites

To track market share, we mine the name servers for the Alexa top 10,000 sites monthly. Alexa tracks top sites based on number of visitors and traffic statistics and is generally seen as a reliable source for this data. The tables below provide market share snapshots for DNS providers based on our independent mining. We use two techniques to generate market share metrics - DNS hostname matching and class C IP matching. Non recursive query validations are used to verify the latter. Market share changes may be attributed to changes in the makeup of the Alexa top 10,000 sites or provider changes.

DNS Software

DNS Software is the respond to queries requesting a hostname be transferred to an IP address. DNS providers can utilize off-the-shelf or proprietary software. Off-the-shelf software has the advantage of established stability and performance, while proprietary software can oftentimes provide better security and provide a point of distinction for vendors.

Geo IP Database

In order to implement Geo-Targeted, Location Based DNS, providers will typically license Geo IP technology from one of two major vendors: MaxMind or Neustar IP Intelligence. These databases allow DNS providers to determine the geographic location of DNS resolvers (which are generally in the same geographic location as end-users), and provide a custom geo-targeted response. The following table provides a breakdown of the Geo IP technology used by each provider that supports this feature (Note: Anycast Zone Based DNS does not require this technology).

State of the Cloud DNS Report © 2014 CloudHarmony Inc. DNS Failover resolves hostnames

based on the availability of target hosts. Hosts are monitored for availability using ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) or more advanced methods such as verifying that a HTTP server is functioning. If the primary host fails health checks, DNS can be automatically reconfigured to resolve to a backup host; routing is automatically restored to the primary host when it regains availability.

Like DNS Failover, DNS Load Balancing monitors the status of DNS hosts. However, with Load Balancing there are no active and failover hosts — instead, all hosts receive evenly (or weighted) distributed traffic (weighted traffic distribution is an optional capability of this feature).

State of the Cloud DNS Report © 2014 CloudHarmony Inc. Location Based DNS allows a DNS record

to resolve differently based on the user’s location (or more specifically, the user’s DNS resolver location). To accomplish this, the geographic location is determined using Geo IP technology like Neustar IP Intelligence or MaxMind. This location is then run through custom geographic DNS rules. For example, DNS could resolve to a server in Singapore for users in Asia and to a server in the US for all other users.

1. Route53 provides a unique DNS routing feature called “Latency Based Routing” wherein users are directed to an AWS endpoint with the lowest latency (endpoint must be in one of the 7 AWS regions).

Anycast Zone Based DNS is functionally similar to Location Based DNS. However, the former uses Anycast zones instead of Geo IP technology. In practice, this limits the number of definable location based rules definable to the number of provider Anycast zones. For example, Dyn’s Anycast Zone Based DNS (GSLB or CDN Manager) allows users to define up to 7 rules per hostname corresponding to each Dyn Anycast zone: US West, US Central, US East, EU West, EU Central, EU East and Asia. In this regard, Anycast Zone Based DNS is more restrictive than Geo Location Based DNS which may allow users to define rules based on individual states or even cities. Additionally, IP Anycast routing can be problematic in some areas like Asia resulting in incorrect responses (e.g. an Asia user may be routed to a US DNS server - and hence resolve to a US, not Asia rule).

State of the Cloud DNS Report © 2014 CloudHarmony Inc. DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security

Extensions) is a specification for securing DNS information — DNSSEC was designed to protect clients from forged DNS responses. All responses in DNSSEC are digitally signed; by checking the digital signature, a DNS client is able to verify the information is exactly the same as the information from the authoritative DNS server. The DNSSEC standard is backwards compatible with DNS, clients that do not support it are not affected adversely. Although more and more organizations are now rolling out DNSSEC on their name servers, the actual number of signed zones is still very low.

DNS pricing for some vendors is often a black box. While some providers provide public pricing and self sign-up, others require contact and negotiation with sales executives. In the case of the latter, pricing can flucuate greatly depending on purchase size, negotiating prowness, the time of the quarter, and other extraneous factors.

The pricing matrix below provides a breakdown of estimated costs at various usage levels with each provider. To collect this information, we have independently researched and contacted vendors that do not disclose pricing publicly.

Pricing Per Month

1. $50 SMB plan uses fewer DNS POPs than Enterprise plans (currently 15 of 30 POPs 2. List price - discounting possible when purchased in conjunction with add-ons 3. Dyn Managed DNS Express - includes 1.2 million queries/month

4. Dyn changes based on 95th percentile queries per second (QPS). Pricing for fixed volumes in the table is estimated

The performance analysis in this report is separated into 3 categories: service availability, synthetic response times, end-user DNS response times; this data is captured utilizing a combination of the CloudHarmony browser-based DNS test (http://cloudharmony.com/dnstest) and testing conducted using CloudHarmony’s network of 110 globally deployed monitoring nodes.

The following table provides service availability metrics for the prior month, and year to date (YTD). The metrics are based on the percentage of successful authoritative (non-recursive) queries made to provider DNS servers. Our network of 110 global monitoring nodes test DNS provider nameservers every 5 minutes using a random Alexa top 1000 site with DNS delegated to those providers. To eliminate false positives, if during a single test interval a node experiences 2 or more failures with different providers (indicating a potential network issue with the monitoring node), that test is aborted and the results discarded.

The tables below provide 2 availability metrics.The first metric represents the percentage of tests where at least 1 nameserver responded successfully to the monitoring nodes during each 5 minute check, and the second represents the same ratio for all nameservers (meaning all provider nameservers responded successfully). Most DNS clients support retry logic, and hence more emphasis should be placed on the first metric.

We monitor sythetic DNS response times using a combination of dig (a DNS utility) and our network of 110 global monitoring nodes. The purpose of this testing is to measure the amount of time it takes for provider DNS servers to respond to queries from these nodes. These measurements are taken every 5 minutes from

each monitoring node. During each test interval, multiple measurements are taken and the median, mean, min, max and standard deviation metrics are captured. The response times used in the graphs below are derived from the median values and aggregated into multiple geographic regions.

To collect end-user DNS response time, we created a browser-based DNS test at: http://cloudharmony.com/dnstest. We allow users to run this test for free, and pay users to run it using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. This test is also run using javascript tags on a few high traffic websites. To deploy this test, we delegated DNS for a domain with each DNS provider, and configured a wildcard DNS name (A) record for each. The test alternates downloading a 5 byte javascript file using cached and uncached random hostnames. End-User DNS response time is calculated as the difference between these measurements.

Multiple response time samples are taken during each end user test, and the median and standard deviation are captured. Outlier response times above

1 second are discarded. The response times used in the graphs below are derived from a 90th percentile of the median values aggregated into multiple geographic regions. The purpose of this section is to present DNS performance from an end-user’s perspective. This differs from synthetic response times in that it incorporates a more holistic, real-world metric that includes both DNS query time and latency between actual users and DNS provider nameservers (including the entire recursive DNS chain). The end-user response time heatmaps provide global performance analysis for individual providers. Regions are color coded according to the average performance in that region. Green indicates faster and red slower DNS response times for users within those regions.
