Nominum: ISP-Level Filtering? No Problem.

Stuart Comer writes on iTWire.com.au:

US software company, Nominum, claims that its technology is able to provide ISP level content filtering with 'sub-millisecond' delays, contrary to many claims that ISP level filtering would inevitably slow down response times for web surfers.

Carl Braden, Nominum's sales director for Asia Pacific, told iTWire: "Nominum has recently developed a capability to redirect DNS queries with a 'black list' database referral that produces a sub millisecond delay to the network performance. We developed this technology as part of our ENUM based layer 7 routing technologies where database sizes are in the order of half a billion records."

He said this technology could be applied for content filtering purposes by ISP, and was already being used in this manner.
