Objectives

The DECODES project has five objectives:

O1 - Build a DNS Energy Measurement Framework

Develop a standardized framework to measure energy consumption across DNS components, including resolvers, authoritative servers, and IXPs. To move forward, this includes deploying monitoring tools, defining measurement methodologies, and ensuring privacy-compliant data collection.

O2 - Develop Energy Models and a Test Environment

Building on the “O1” foundation, create multi-level energy models (infrastructure, protocol, and user levels) to understand DNS energy usage. These models should then be validated in a controlled sandbox environment, while optimization strategies such as caching, routing, and protocol tuning are explored.

Overview

Overview

Data centers already consume a significant share of global electricity as digital services grow rapidly, and experts expect this demand to rise substantially in the coming years.

While much of the focus has been on compute and storage, the Domain Name System (DNS) — a fundamental part of Internet communications; remains an overlooked contributor to energy consumption. DNS operates continuously and has a highly distributed architecture. Evolving security mechanisms such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNS-over-TLS (DoT), and DNS Security (DNSSEC) also add computational overhead, further increasing DNS energy use.

Work Packages

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The project is structured into five work packages:

WP1 – Management: Coordination, Standardisation and knowledge transfer.
WP2 – Analysis: DNS traffic measurements, integrating the methods and tools to use
WP3 – Modeling: Designing a Reference Model and implementing a sandbox Data Center Environment.
WP4 – PQC: Energy Consumption Benchmarking of PQC Algorithms.
WP5 – Validation: Validate the optimization strategies in real-world DNS network environ- ments.
