OARC is beginning planning for the 2026 Day in the Life (DITL) collection. DNS operators who wish to participate in the collection, and have not already done so, should contact [email protected].
An announcement will be made to contributors on February 17th with the specifics of this year's collection. This is the only notice about the collection that will be sent to *this* list. About the Day in the Life Collection ------------------------------------ Every year, DNS OARC runs a data collection event known as the Day in the Life collection. DNS operators from around the globe run packet captures over the same 50 hour period, and contribute them to the community for ongoing research into the activity of the global DNS. DITL data gathered will be made available to OARC Members and to researchers under the terms of the OARC Data Sharing Agreement[1]. Research using the data sets has strict requirements regarding aggregation and anonymization to prevent exposure of specific client information, but the resulting research is always made public. OARC seeks to receive contributions from root server operators, TLD operators, AS112 server operators, operators of other significant authoritative zones (such as RIR reverse zones and major commercial services), and recursive operators. Although there are no hard and fast limits, we hope to see contributions from recursive services with clients in the high hundreds to low tens of thousands of clients. Recursive operators such as universities, small to medium sized ISPs, and large enterprises are ideal. Recursive server collections are always made “above” the server, between the recursive and authoritative, and not between the recursive and the end-user, so end-user privacy should not be an issue. More information about the DITL collections can be found here: <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/data/ditl> If you or your organization would like to contribute to the 2026 collection, please email [email protected] so that we can get you set up.
