DNS Resolvers

[Bill]

Seeing the announcement about the new DNS resolvers, I ran the IPv6 test suite from here: http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/m=testv6

There's usually one or two amber items, of no serious concern, but this time it was completely green, thank you Simon

But re the red stuff on the BQMs, and thinking about BT's claim somewhere that 3% packet loss wasn't a problem, the results of the above test included

Network performance (?): Latency: 100 ms, Loss: 1.5%

The round-trip time (RTT) between your computer and our server is 100 ms, which is good.
We recorded a packet loss of 1.5%. This loss rate is within the range commonly encountered and not usually inducing significant performance problems. All the packet loss appears to have occurred on the path from our server to your computer.

Interesting.

Does that mean packets from your computer reaches them, but packets on the return do not?

I would assume so, but it's not very helpful either way- it's a long way from here to there
