At #ICANN, they currently discuss the rollover of a root KSK. They switch from an #RSA based key to an elliptic curve algorithm. From algorithm 8 to algorithm 13, a common observation in the past 2 or 3 years.
There will be a multi-year (~3 years) transition period in which both algorithms run in parallel.
Anyone want to read upon it, here is the proposal

This one is a pretty long read, and it goes into details of observed #NXDOMAIN patterns with a bias towards the #DNS landscape in #China. I did not expect to see so much leakage of non-public TLDs, but I guess that - despite the bias towards Chinese networks- it probably looks similar in other parts of the world.
After reading this pretty long article, I was still somewhat feeling that it should have gone deeper into query flood phenomena which might cause spikes in NXDOMAIN responses.
No matter what, a well-spent 10 minutes on educating yourself on things that are often not illuminated on one of the #Internet core protocols.
Have a nice weekend, everyone!
