Root servers I want to have a detail understanding about root servers in internet terminology. The only thing I knew about root servers is it helps to control traffic and maintain routes in internet. But how is this achieved, what is the working methodology of these root servers.

Re: Root servers Many different organizations maintain the servers on the root server system. Root server is one central server that replicates changes to the other servers on a daily basis.

Re: Root servers Root server is not a single server but a group of servers, I think 13 but not sure, at the top of internet name space. It means there a group of servers, to load balance, which contains same information and are referred as root or ".".
