From the data gathered by our root-server operators at that moment we
estimate that the traffic for ".local" must have been some 25%
A key technical difference between LLMNR and the initial MDNS proposal
is precisely that LLMNR has no concept of a ".local" top level domain.
Usage of LLMNR does not promote queries to this zone.
This is indeed a key difference between LLMNR and MDNS. MDNS assumes
that there is a special zone for local names, which would be linked to
the topology. LLMNR assumes that names are independent of the topology,
that a host called "foo.example.net" retains the same name as it move to
different locations. There were ample debates of this point in the
working group, and the decisions to "not creating special names" and
"not linking names to topology" do reflect WG consensus.
