One of their flagship offerings is the NLnet Labs Name Server Daemon (NSD), an authoritative DNS name server designed for operations in environments where speed, reliability, stability, and security are crucial. NSD stands out with its pure design philosophy that prioritizes raw performance. It is the go-to implementation if you require a name server that can handle hundreds of thousands or even millions of queries per second, making it ideal for Top Level Domain implementations, DNS Root servers, and those in need of a fast and optimized authoritative name server. NSD is widely trusted, with three DNS root servers and numerous top-level domain registries using it for their server implementation. Unlike other implementations, NSD does not include recursive caching, ensuring a focused and specialized approach. For those in need of a validating, recursive, caching resolver, NLnet Labs offers Unbound. NSD strives to be at the forefront of emerging standards from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and implements well-established Internet Drafts as a compile option. It is distributed as open-source software under the BSD license, providing flexibility and accessibility. NLnet Labs also offers comprehensive support options, including Support Contracts backed by a Service Level Agreement directly from their developers. They are committed to delivering high-quality support for mission-critical environments. Choose NLnet Labs for cutting-edge DNS technologies and reliable support. Boost your online operations with their efficient and performant products. ## Industries - 🖥 Computers Electronics and Technology _(under Computers Electronics and Technology)_ - 🖥 Computers Electronics and Technology ## Links - [twitter](https://twitter.com/nlnetlabs) - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/92855) - [github](https://github.com/NLnetLabs) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG, SVG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/iddrWwJaD2/w/820/h/293/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1774185189370) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/iddrWwJaD2/w/400/h/400/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1786890587603) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Java | #1fc2d7 | accent | | Blue Stone | #00665e | dark | | Chalky | #efd6a2 | light | ## Fonts - -apple-system — asset _(system)_ ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/iddrWwJaD2/w/1500/h/500/idJDfaPwR6.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1786890587802) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
