Experiment Proposal to Improve K-root

Suzanne Taylor

• 29 Oct 2014

• 4 min read

We used RIPE Atlas to measure latency times to K-root, and we believe we can improve those times by adding new nodes to K-root in strategic locations. Here, we propose the idea of developing an experiment that would let us measure this potential improvement.
