DNS is a critical component of an Internet infrastructure. Its correct functioning is paramount for various Internet applications. However, very few studies have been conducted on its performance and more so from the user’s viewpoint. Only on 2002, an extensive study on DNS performance from a client’s perspective was carried out at 75 different locations around the globe mostly from Americas and Europe. The study shed light on some of the underlying factors relating to the latency experienced by the user and some of the ways to improve the DNS performance. For independent validation of the previous results, new data was collected from KMITNB and a new investigation was carried out on a number of metrics in order to see if the new results support the key findings of the previous outcomes.
