Enhance Internet performance by using the right Public DNS servers

If you are thinking of how to enhance your Internet performance, it is great that you can subscribe a higher bandwidth Internet service. But is it the right way?

No really.

Increasing the bandwidth cannot shortern the latency between you and the destination server. But You cannot control our provider’s network path.

Under the current Web server depolyment, using the Content Delivery Network to deliver the content to Internet is a comment way. However, your network provider’s DNS server may not response the optimial server for the request domain. Therefore, you cannot enjoy the lowest latency between you and the request server.

HOW to?

A little measurement you can do, you can try to make a query to several publilc DNS servers, the reponse result may not be the same. For Example, by 8.8.8.8 Google or 1.1.1.1 Cloudflare. Based on the result, a simple ping test you can perform and record the lower latency one. Finally, you can setup a bind server to forware the domain to that DNS server to have a better Internet performance.

Global Latency Map – by using RIPE Atlas

Using RIPE Atlas to perform the global network latency map. Atlas Probes are existing world wide and let you to perform the measurement by using your CREDIT. Self developed Python automation program used to perform the test by RIPE Atlas API.
