It contains the names and the numeric IP addresses for all the top level domain names such as the [[gTLD]]s ([[.com]], [[.net]], [[.org]]), including [[new gTLD]]s ([[.xyz]], [[.club]], [[.google]]), as well [[CcTLD|ccTLD]]s ([[.us]], [[.uk]], [[.ar]]) and [[IDN]]s ([[.在线]], [[.عرب]], [[.संगठन]]) in the root zone file.<ref>[http://www.isoc.org/briefings/019/ www.isoc.org]</ref> | ||

* Adding IPv6 records to the root zone will add glue records for the name server of every TLD. This means that the amount of data increases per TLD in the root zone and the number of changes per TLD will also increase each year. | * Adding IPv6 records to the root zone will add glue records for the name server of every TLD.

The Root Scaling Study Team also found that the proposed changes to the root also affect the end-system applications of the Internet such as the web browsers, intermediary “middleboxes” that perform traffic shaping, firewall, and caching functions; and [[ISP]]s that manage the DNS services provided to | The Root Scaling Study Team also found that the proposed changes to the root also affect the end-system applications of the Internet such as the web browsers, intermediary “middleboxes” that perform traffic shaping, firewall, and caching functions; and [[ISP]]s that manage the DNS services provided to Internet users. | ||
In addition, the team also recommended further study of how to detect the important signs of stress or problems in root zone management, and how to arrange communication between the individuals primary involved in the root zone management system to ensure that timely intelligence support and effective cooperative action are available and resolve the effects of discontinuities before causing further problems. | In addition, the team also recommended further study of how to detect the important signs of stress or problems in root zone management, and how to arrange communication between the individuals primary involved in the root zone management system to ensure that timely intelligence support and effective cooperative action are available and resolve the effects of discontinuities before causing further problems. | ||
