However, there are more than thirteen physical dns root servers; some work via anycast, allowing a server on the same ip address on more locations up. In addition, the root servers, it equipped for the large attack traffic. Even if the root servers are down, users that didn’t notice it; as long as providers have to know where the dns servers of the top-level-domains are, it’s just dns requests are done.
