Global Content, Local Hosting
• Content localization is a form of international trade – import/export
• Choices made in each country affect enduser performance and are visible in the operation of their ccTLDs
• Policy folks are looking for ways to measure and understand Internet evolution
• Zone operators have something important to contribute here…
@DynResearch
Zones Are Maps, Let’s Peruse Them
• How does the “domain space” within a given TLD (including ccTLDs) map onto geographic space?
• Using Russia as a specific example, let’s see where domains “live,” and what impact that might have on consumers
• We tried two different experiments, one starting with published Alexadata, the other with ccTLD zone data
@DynResearch
EXPERIMENT 1:
FINDING THE ALEXA 100
@DynResearch
Where’s The Popular Content?• Retrieve Alexa.com’s public list of the top
100 sites for various countries
• Resolve the apex domains to determine one or more A records for each domain in the zone
• Geolocate each service IP and use BGP routing data to examine the origin and transit providers for each domain
• Calculate the fraction of each country’s popular content that is locally hosted according to this metric

@DynResearch
Russia’s Alexa 100 Hosting (2/2)
Has IPv6 Address?Hosted in Russia?
@DynResearch
Russia’s Alexa 100 Hosting: Summary
• All told, 58 of Russia’s 100 most popular domains are hosted (at least partially) within Russia, adding up partial percentages
• 50-60% is fairly typical for larger economies that are the center of their own language sphere: Japan, Korea, Poland, Germany, Turkey
• CDNs do push significant site content closer to users – these are just the resolutions of the “front door” domains.
@DynResearch
EXPERIMENT 2:
*.RU and *.РФ
@DynResearch
Examining .RU/.РФ (thank you CCTLD.RU)
Examined the zones in September 2015, and re-scanned at the beginning of December 2015 – statistics are stable
• .RU: NS records for +4.7M zones, pointing at +166Kauthoritative servers
• .РФ: NS records for +738K zones, pointing at +30Kauthoritative servers

…and a long tail of nearly 80,000 more
The authoritative nameservers for the zones within .RU/. РФ are familiar Russian companies …
… but the A/AAAA records they return for the apex domains of those zones are not always Russian.

@DynResearch
Russia’s .RU Apex Hosting
65% of the apex domains within .RU delegations are hosted (at least partially) within Russia
@DynResearch
Russia’s .РФ Apex Hosting
Fully 80% of the apex domains within .РФ are hosted (at least partially) within Russia
This is one of the highest local hosting rates for a ccTLDworldwide
@DynResearch
Compare to Canada’s .CA Apex Hosting
18.7% of the domains within .CA are hosted (at least partially) within Canada
The USA still represents the most common hosting location for .CA apex domains

@DynResearch
How is .РФ Different from .RU?
• More strongly Russian-hosted (80% vs 65%)
• Nearly identical breakdown of city-level hosting
• .RU has 5x higher rate of DNSSEC signing
• .RU has slightly higher rate of IPv6
@DynResearch
Struggling DNSSEC?
• 0.010% of .РФ zones • 0.045% of .RU zones • …return a DNSKEY for the apex
• Neither .РФ nor .RU contain DS records –obstacles to adoption at registrars?
• Compare to 1.5% signed in a recent .com sample
@DynResearch
IPv6: Making Progress
• 15% of .РФ zones • 19% of .RU zones • …return a AAAA record for the apex
• Diversity is still growing
• Two providers (MasterHost and TimeWeb) originate more than 80% of the IPv6 responses
@DynResearch
WHY LOCAL CONTENT MATTERS:
IMPACTS ON ENDUSER EXPERIENCE
@DynResearch
US-based .RU Apex Hosting
8.1% of the domains within .RU are hosted (at least partially) within the USA.
Some are parked; others are hosted on Cloud infrastructure in California, Virginia, etc.

@DynResearch
Active Measurement Infrastructure
• Most providers reach AWS EU-West (Ireland) in 60-80ms from Moscow
@DynResearch
CONCLUSIONS
@DynResearch
TL;DR
Russian zones are strongly localized to Russia
This is especially true for the newer .РФ domains
Russian latencies to alternative Western Europe / US Cloud infrastructure are high
.RU and . РФ continue to evolve side by side
@DynResearch
Final Observations
• Interesting dynamics occur at the growing edge of big zones, so periodic measurement seems important
• Locality trends in the resolver audience for authoritative data are equally interesting – mapping regional clients
• We appreciate the help of [cc]TLD operators who have shared their data as part of this project!
