Lead Scientist Responds to Questions on Root Server Queries

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the anti-spam-measure-backlash dept.

cidtoday writes "A CircleID interview with the lead scientist whose study recently revealed that 98% of a main root server queries are unnecessary, reveals that spam has little to do with the issue.
