Building a Generalized DNS Resilience Tool using the Internet Yellow Pages

The Internet Yellow Pages (IYP) is a recently released tool on which data on the structure of the Internet can be queried. The structure of the Domain Name System (DNS) can be analyzed for resilience on multiple metrics, which depict single points of failure and Anycast usage, and can give an indication on resilience of DNS of a part of the Internet. This research provides a way to use IYP to identify these metrics on the scale of a country, by looking at the structure of DNS of the most visited websites by the Internet users of the Netherlands. Additionally, in this work we research these metrics on the most visited websites, and compare the results to these of the DNS structure of the Dutch government.
