Contribution by RIPE NCC
- To purchase one Dell server according to the RIPE
NCC detailed specification
- To host the server at the peering location.
- To provide network connectivity according to the
RIPE NCC detailed specification.
- To provide a local BGP peering and upstream
routing advertisement of the K-root anycast prefix.
- To separately provide upstream connectivity for
system management and console access.
- To provide occasional ‘remote hands’ support to
the RIPE NCC network team.
- To remotely install/manage, monitor and maintain
the K-root node as part of RIPE NCC Root DNS (Kroot) services.
Note:
RIPE NCC monitors the health of the K-root servers and the proper functioning of
the K-root service as a whole. At RIPE NCC’s discretion, any K-root node can be
removed from the service at all times when there is any sign of malfunctioning of
the node or any negative impact to the service. Traffic towards K-root will then
automatically be rerouted to other instances of the K-root Anycast service.
