  • i
    .de is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)
    Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.
    #1
  • ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2
    .de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • i
    Registration data not available
    No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .de offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ No glue needed #8
    All nameservers are outside the zone, so no glue records are needed.
  • ✓ All names resolve #9
    Every nameserver name has an address and is not an alias.
  • ✓ Nameservers in different networks #10
    The nameservers are spread over 7 IPv4 /24s and 4 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 5 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS31400 (ACCELERATED-IT - firstcolo GmbH, DE): 2 addresses; AS41637 (ROUTING-ANYCAST - Hosting.de GmbH, DE): 2 addresses; AS48823 (AS48823 - Hosting.de GmbH, DE): 3 addresses; AS5520 (UNI-KOELN - Universitaet zu Koeln, DE): 1 address; AS8422 (NETCOLOGNE - NetCologne Gesellschaft fur Telekommunikation mbH, DE): 4 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .de
    All nameserver names are under one TLD, so a problem with that TLD also makes the nameservers unreachable. Some operators use names under two TLDs for extra resilience.
    #12
  • i
    Partly IPv6
    These nameservers have no IPv6 address: dns14.netcologne.de, dns5.netcologne.de.
