The two sites have joined forces for a faster internet. OpenDNS and Google announced Tuesday that a new partnership with regard to how to resolve DNS requests. The "Speed Up" which can be translated as "Speed," also includes some of the greatest services CDN (content delivery network) in the world.
Too bad it only works in the United States, at least for now. When a user accessing the Internet with Google DNS resolution or OpenDNS enter certain sites, your access will be much faster because the servers are closer to the physical location of Internet users.
It works as follows: to go to YouTube, the Internet could well usual load the page from a Google server in Brazil or Ireland. The greater the distance between the location of the user and the server, more data has to go through, and the internet is slower (latency increases).
With the initiative "Speed Up", users of Google and the OpenDNS DNS now have a part of your IP transmitted along with the request. Thing of milliseconds. If your DNS provider detects that the user is in Dallas, will direct access to a CDN (a local structure of data storage that replicates a real server) Google or its partners also located in Dallas. If the subject is in New York, just using a server NY. And so access is faster.
In addition to OpenDNS and Google, the following companies are part of the project: EdgeCast, Verisign, CDNetworks, and BitGravity Cloudflare.
So far the initiative only works in the United States. The good news is that any DNS provider can adopt the protocol created by OpenDNS and Google - just want to. Some Brazilian service type for that?
