How important is DNS Security and Availability to you?
The Technology behind ShieldNS:
ShieldNS’s Anycast-based DNS servers are dispersed across multiple continents, with Zone Data mirrored in nodes located on multiple continents. Our routing mechanism ensure packets destined for ShieldNS servers will be routed to the "nearest" available server in the topology – resulting in lower latency and faster resolution!
With a back-end strong enough to handle over 51 million queries per minute, over 74 billion queries per day on each server in its constellation, ShieldNS has ample capacity to thwart even the most sophisticated DDOS attacks of today (Each node comfortably handles over 863,000 queries per second!):
Traditional DNS Platform: Non-optimal routing – global queries are not necessarily directed to nearest server. No failover provisioning.
ShieldNS: Queries are always directed to nearest server in the topology, ensuring speedier resolution. Nearby servers are available for immediate backup in the unlikely event of a server failure.
Comparison of ShieldNS with Traditional DNS Platforms:
| Difference |
Unicast-based DNS |
ShieldNS Advantage |
| Performance |
No optimized routing methodology |
Packets destined for Anycast DNS servers will be routed to the "nearest" server in the topology, ensuring consistently low latency and fast resolution. |
| Reliability and Availability |
Failure at one node affects resolution, No Redundancy |
Anycast improves reliability of DNS through the placement of multiple geographically dispersed servers at the same IP address.
A DNS Anycast server that becomes unavailable due to failure or routine maintenance will have very little impact on name resolution service because the service routes are withdrawn from the routing tables.
Routing will divert this traffic to new alternate best path servers in the Anycast group. |
| Security |
More vulnerable to DoS/DDoS |
ShieldNS is able to mitigate DDoS attacks by providing a highly-distributed network, a platform that delivers exceedingly high amounts of capacity, and a team that can immediately respond to such attacks based upon the type of attack which may be occurring.
The levels of capacity provided through ShieldNS’s platform have proven to easily handle volumes of traffic at levels easily exceeding other providers' limits. |
