Overview: You may know the common DNS record types like A, CNAME, and MX, but do you know the new ones? SVCB (Service Binding) and HTTPS Resource Records are the latest additions to the DNS game. They are already in use but not yet standardized. They can help with service discovery, privacy and performance but also pose challenges to communications service providers. They can cause unexpected increases in DNS traffic, which can affect the telecom DNS infrastructure and performance. This webinar will explore the new DNS record types: SVCB and HTTPS. We will explain what they are, how they work, and what they mean for the telecom industry. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the hidden parts of DNS.

Key Insights: Understand what SVCB and HTTPS DNS records are, why they were created, and how they are being used. SVCB and HTTPS records are not yet standardized and have many optional parameters and extensions, making them difficult to implement and maintain for telecoms and posing compatibility issues with older or non-compliant DNS clients and servers. In certain situations, SVCB and HTTPS records can cause more DNS queries and responses than traditional records, mainly when used for aliasing or service discovery. This can load the telecom DNS infrastructure more and affect its performance and reliability.

Why Attend: While SCVB and HTTPS records are still in the draft stage – they are in use and can pose real challenges. Staying informed is important in adapting to the future of DNS. Join us in this webinar to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of these new DNS records, how they can affect your DNS operations, and best practices tips.

• Compatibility: Explore the potential pitfalls in these new record types, such as resolution failures, fallback issues with specific DNS resolvers and clients, and increased DNS query volumes.
• Complexity: Navigate through the added layers of abstraction and configuration, understanding the potential impact on DNS zone management and service complexity.
• Cost: Delve into the financial considerations for CSPs, including increased operational and spending associated with handling increased DNS traffic.

This webinar is an excellent opportunity to stay informed and prepared for the future of DNS. Join us to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of these new DNS records and how they can improve service discovery, privacy and performance but also pose compatibility, complexity, and cost challenges. You will also get best practices and tips to help you cope with these challenges and optimize your DNS operations.
