Satellite Based Zone File Distribution
Challenges with current zone file distribution
- Large file size (e.g. com.xfer is about 1.4 GB)
- Files sizes growing exponentially
- Variable latency and congestion on the Internet causes problems during zone transfer.
- Long transfer times for remote sites (e.g. 4 hrs for Hong Kong site)
- Zone file distribution time limits frequency of zone file distribution (currently twice a day)
