    Posté par . En réponse au journal Cloudflare annonce 1.1.1.1, le résolveur DNS orienté grand public et vie privé le plus rapide. Évalué à 10.

    Les benchmarks ne signifient pas grand chose tant que le DNS cloudflare est encore peu utilisé (leurs serveurs sont peu chargés).

    I'd be surprised if increased load has a negative effect on 1.1.1.1's performance.

    We run a homogeneous architecture—that is, every machine in our fleet is capable of handling every type of request. The same machines that currently handle 10% of all HTTP requests on the internet, and handle authoritative DNS for our customers, and serve the DNS F root server, are now handling recursive DNS at 1.1.1.1. These machines are not sitting idle. Moreover, this means that all of these services are drawing from the same pool of resources, which is, obviously, enormous. This service will scale easily to any plausible level of demand.

    In fact, in this kind of architecture, a little-used service is actually likely to be penalized in terms of performance because it's spread so thin that it loses cache efficiency (for all kinds of caches—CPU cache, DNS cache, etc.). More load should actually make it faster, as long as there is capacity, and there is a lot of capacity.
