Time to Live (TTL)

Risposta Diretta

Contatore numerico o durata temporale che specifica per quanto tempo un pacchetto di rete o un record DNS rimane valido prima di essere aggiornato.

Technical Explanation & Operational Mechanics

Nel DNS (RFC 1035), il TTL definisce i secondi in cui i resolver possono conservare in cache un record. Nelle reti IP, limita il numero di salti per impedire loop di instradamento infiniti.

Technical Example & Practical Implementation

Configurazione del TTL nel Cache DNS

Scelta tra TTL ridotto per migrazioni veloci e TTL esteso per limitare il traffico di query.

; BIND Zone File Entry:
; Name                 TTL     Class  Type  Target
api.example.com.       300     IN     A     198.51.100.42

; Caching Resolver Timeline:
; Time = 0s:   Resolver queries authoritative server, receives IP and TTL 300.
; Time = 100s: User 2 asks resolver -> served instantly from cache (TTL remaining: 200s).
; Time = 300s: Cache TTL hits 0s. Record is purged (expired).
; Time = 301s: User 3 asks resolver -> resolver must query authoritative server again.

Related Questions & Direct Answers

What Happens When a DNS TTL Expires?→
