DNS-BASED RANKING OF DOMAIN NAMES

摘要

Provided is a method for domain name ranking. An example method includes receiving Domain Name System (DNS) data, which includes domain names. The DNS data is processed to obtain multiple metric values for each of the domain names. The metric values can include a query count (QC), a client count (CC), and a network count (NC). The method proceeds with calculating a score for each of the domain names based on the metric values. The calculation can be performed using the following equation: Score=NC·CC·(1+log(QC)). Furthermore, the method ranks the domain names based on the score for each of the domain names. The ranking can be based on normalization of the scores or based on converting the scores into respective percentile ranks.

1. A computer-implemented method for domain name ranking, the method comprising:
receiving Domain Name System (DNS) data, wherein the DNS data includes domain names; based on the DNS data, obtaining multiple metric values for each of the domain names; based on the multiple metric values, calculating a score for each of the domain names; and ranking the domain names based on the score for each of the domain names.
