End-user based platform – Challenges
No dedicated resources – We cannot run arbitrary experiments – Safety of volunteer nodes is key
Large-scale platform è large-scale impact
Highly volatile nodes – We cannot run at arbitrary times – We cannot run at arbitrary locations

DNS extension approach
Idea: Avoid impact of remote DNS usage by directly providing client location A EDNS0 extension “edns-client-subnet” Resolver adds client’s IP prefix to request
Is it effective?
