Notes

  1. 1.

    Youku’s authoritative DNS server resolves the DSN query with different CNAMEs, and besides edu-f.youku.com, we have observed four other CNAMEs when probing from different ISPs and locations.

  2. 2.

    These proxies were provided by individuals and organizations for different purposes, such as bypassing local ISP’s control policies, or enabling anonymous web surfing, etc., examples can be found at http://www.cnproxy.com/.

  3. 3.

    The reason that some proxies produce few samples is because they are functional for only a few hours, so that we cannot have sufficient samples from them.
