Abstract
This study investigates the deployment and performance of DNS root servers in India. Analysis reveals a diverse landscape with multiple root letters deployed in key cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Domestic root mirrors exhibit lower latency, emphasizing their role in optimizing internet performance. Traffic predominantly targets Asian destinations, but disparities in outbound traffic destinations highlight global routing complexities. Variations in service levels across cities indicate the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to internet resources nationwide. These findings underscore the importance of strategic deployment and regional connectivity in fostering an efficient DNS infrastructure in India.
