So, for example, to see how fast Google Public DNS responds to a DNS request for hpe.com, you'd run: You can do this with the Unix/Linux-based BIND dig command.įrom a Unix/Linux shell, you'll want to run dig with this syntax: dig address of DNS router. To find out which will work best for you, you must test them from each office.
An office in Perth, Australia, almost 2,500 miles from the OpenDNS Sydney PoP, might be better served by DNS Australia. If you're just down the road from an OpenDNS PoP, it will be the fastest DNS resolver.
When it comes to speed, a lot depends on how "close" you are, in network speed terms, to a given DNS resolver. You see, speed is a relative term when it comes to DNS resolvers. How do you pick one out? Well, it's just not which provider is the fastest. So, keep an eye on your service once you've settled on one.
For example, Norton ConnectSafe was a well-regarded free public DNS resolver, but it shut down in November 2018. You should be aware that, like any other business, DNS providers can close their doors. To get the latest on who's fast and who's not, check out PerfOps' DNS Performance. Some of the most trustworthy, high-performance DNS public resolvers and their IPv4 DNS addresses include: With multiple, global points of presence (PoP), they can also deliver high-speed lookups for both your home and remote offices. For DNS providers, however, it's all about speed. DNS speeds are not a priority for them, and it shows. Typically, the DNS provided by your ISP is slow. There are faster and slower DNS providers. So, when you speed up your DNS lookups, everyone gets faster Internet performance. Does a page use Google Fonts for its text? That requires lookups, too. For example, those social network links for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter on this page? They all require separate DNS lookups. That may not sound like much, but all but the most simple web pages require dozens of DNS lookups.Įvery link, program, and image not on a page's site demands a DNS lookup. What you may not know is that DNS lookup takes an average of 32 milliseconds. For all practical purposes, every time you do something on the Internet, you start by invisibly interacting with DNS. DNS directs traffic to websites and email to your inbox by mapping a domain name you can remember, like, to an IPv4 address such as 216.58.217.206. By optimizing your DNS lookups, you can save real time and make life a bit more pleasant every day.Īs you know, DNS is the Internet’s primary address book. It is the freedom that you look for on each shoot.You might not think shaving milliseconds off the time it takes to look up websites via the Domain Name System is a big deal. I was never held back by any technical constraints. “I can carry everything I need for filming, sound, offloading my cards and sending proxies in one single bag. The CBK-WA100 enables compressed images to be sent via the Internet using the existing telecom network, making it unnecessary to create and transport your own transmission infrastructure. However, thanks to Sony’s new tools, it is now possible to go further, alone, and for longer using the high-end XDCAM shoulder camcorders. On a remote shoot, the fear is that sacrifices must be made in terms of quality because of equipment limitations. “I could only take as much equipment as I could carry by myself,” he explains. These logistics are virtually impossible when you work alone, as Nicolas Eveilleau did when making his documentary in the Polynesian islands. To shoot a documentary on the other side of the world requires exceptional logistical planning, especially when the production team needs the content that same day. Ci was particularly helpful in dramatically reducing the burdens involved in reviewing, selecting and sending content back to the production crew.
Using a combination of the PMW-400 XDCAM Camcorder, PMW-50 playback/recording deck and CBK-WA100 wireless adapter, plus Sony’s Ci cloud service, freelancer Nicolas Eveilleau shot a documentary in Tahiti alone and without compromising on quality.
