VeriSign plans on strengthening the internet with more security. Allowing the internet to handle the demand that will be needed in the future. The internet is constantly expanding, and the loads are getting greater and greater each day.

Currently the DNS system handles about 400 billion queries today; VeriSign predicts a load of 4 trillion queries by 2010. To do this, Project Titan will better distribute the current infrastructure so that the .com and .net systems will have greater redundancy and reduced latency. This should improve the end-user experience for users by reducing bottlenecks and increasing speed despite ever increasing demand. It will also introduce more security to prevent attacks on the DNS system.

Thanks to VeriSign they are preparing the internet before the huge demand is needed.
