<br>
Following my research on DNS, I started to wonder if we have good connectivity to locally deployed K root servers across middle east. It turned out results vary from country to country.<br>
I just published the result of my research on RIPE Labs [1] to start a discussion on the subject. There are still rooms for improvement, such as more local peerings as well as deploying more K Root instances in some areas.<br>
I would be glad to hear from you on the subject.<br>
