CoDoNS is a high-performance, failure-resilient, and scalable name service for the Internet. It serves as both an alternative and a safety-net for the legacy Domain Name System (DNS). Built on top of Beehive, it provides clients low latencies for name resolution, automatic load-balancing during flash-crowds and denial of service attacks, and quick dissemination of changes in DNS mappings. It is currently deployed across the globe on Planet-Lab. A list of live CoDoNS servers and their current performance is provided here.
