The factsheet is intended<br>> to provide an explanation of the attack for a non-technical audience<br>> in the hope of enlarging public understanding surrounding this and<br>> related issues.<br>><br>> Aside from covering the attack itself and the engineers' response to<br>> it, the factsheet also briefly reviews the root server system, the<br>> domain name system, Anycast technology, and what can be done in
order<br>> to deal with such attacks in future.<br>><br>> It is hoped that the factsheet will be the first in a series, with<br>> ICANN's general manager of public participation, Kieren McCarthy,<br>> acting as series editor. Future factsheets hope to follow a similar<br>> approach of providing clear and topical non-technical information<br>> about various aspects of the Internet in which ICANN is involved.<br>><br>> We welcome whatever feedback the community may have, plus suggestions<br>> for future factsheets. Please post any comments you have on the<br>> related blog post. This factsheet is released under a Creative<br>> Commons licence."<br><div> </div></div><br>
