It seems to me that everything which broadcasts/asserts routing decisions in a network (any layer) is deceptively simple and potentially dangerous.

- gloria_mundi 3y agoThere are 13 root name server addresses, but most (all?) of these use anycast, i.e. there are actually several servers with the same address, and your traffic will usually be routed to the one closest to you. There are over 1500 root name servers. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_name_server https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_name_server
