NLnet Labs

Dutch #NonProfit foundation proudly serving the Internet community since 1999 with #OpenSource software for #DNS and #BGP. Applied research, open standards advocates, bridging technology and policy.

#Clang origins, now #rustlang aficionados. The people behind Unbound, NSD, Routinator, domain and much more...

Note: We are not NLnet (npub1n8y…l96n), nor are we funded by them or affiliated with them. Lots of 💚 for what they do though!

‘dnst' is about twice as fast as ‘ldns’ for #DNSSEC signing. This is our result with a test zone containing about 10M RRs, and using ECDSAP256SHA256 algorithm 13.
Note that for our upcoming signer-pipeline Nameshed we'll make signing multi-threaded, boosting performance even more. #DNS #OpenSource #rustlang https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/introducing-dnst-a-dns-toolbox-for-network-operators/

A new release of Rotonda, our composable, programmable #BGP engine, is now available. Version 0.4.0 'Bold and Undaunting Youth' features and #RPKI RTR component, as well as Route Origin Validation on incoming routes. https://github.com/NLnetLabs/rotonda/releases/tag/v0.4.0

In light of a recent motion of the Dutch parliament, keeping with the trend of internet centralisation and considering the general state of the world, we are bringing the full DNS chain to a doormat close to you.

We need your help! We're making good progress with #XDP support for our #DNS software. However, to properly test it we need access to two metal boxes with 10Gb/s NICs that have XDP driver support, e.g. https://docs.ebpf.io/linux/program-type/BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP/#driver-support Please contact us if you can help out. 💚

2024 has been a pivotal year for NLnet Labs. Our vision for #DNS, our commitment to the #rustlang programming language and, in its wake, the influx of new talent joining our team, all combined with the support we received from @npub1yng…nhrk, we’ve been able to make a giant leap forward in realizing our #OpenSource goals. We are eager to maintain the momentum!
In the first of a series of articles, we look back at 2024 and set the stage for things to come.

Our #DNS toolkit for #rustlang, using our domain crate, is nearing completion.
We'll offer the commands to transform a DNSKEY RR to DS RR (key2ds), create a #DNSSEC key pair (keygen), print out the NSEC3 hash for the given domain name (nsec3-hash), generate a DNSSEC signed zone (signzone), send a NOTIFY message to DNS servers and lastly for now, define functions to perform UPDATE queries.
Up next are the finishing touches, with fuzzing support, packages and man pages. https://github.com/NLnetLabs/dnst/pulls

2024-10-24 08:07:49 UTC

We're in the final stint of our one-year commitment to @npub1yng…nhrk to build a memory-safe library for #DNS.
By the end of 2024, our `domain` crate for #rustlang will feature a caching stub resolver, zone transfers, #DNSSEC validation and signing, request routing and a proxy, along with tooling for DNS inspection (dnsi) and manipulation (dnst).
In 2025, we'll continue building at the same pace with the same team and we're eager to hear what you would like to see us build most. Let us know!

With #DNSoverQUIC released in Unbound 1.22.0, we turn our attention to finalizing the review to deploy Fast Reload. As the name suggests it allows reloading the #DNS resolver configuration with no noticeable interruption of the service. #OpenSource #DoQ #QUIC https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/pull/1042

2024-10-09 08:38:13 UTC

It's been a long road, but we're happy that #DNS over #QUIC is now merged into the main branch of Unbound resolver. We’re now preparing a release. #DoQ #OpenSource https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/pull/871

Jeroen Koekkoek, one of our lead developers, has collaborated with @npub1yyz…dawd to create a blazingly #DNS fast zone file parser that is now part of our authoritative nameserver NSD.
They have now published a paper outlining how they enhanced parsing throughput using data parallelism, specifically Single Instruction Multiple Data (#SIMD) instructions available on commodity processors. #programming https://www.authorea.com/1222979
