+This is a root server testing kit.
+
+To use:
+
+  1) Build BIND 9.x (9.3 or later; I used 9.6.1-p1)
+  2) symlink: dig, named to ./bin
+  3) Build NSD (I used 3.2.2)
+  4) symlink: nsd, zonec to ./bin
+  5) Build jdnssec-tools (I used 0.9.4)
+  6) Add the jdnssec-tools/bin directory to your path
+     (symlinking the java code doesn't work as well)
+  7) Install python 2.4 or later
+  8) Install dnspython (in fedora, 'yum install python-dns')
+
+To do DNSKEY response size tests:
+
+  1) run ./bin/do.sh <outputfile> 
+  2) when prompted to edit zone files and sign.sh, do so.  You are
+     configuring a particular case (i.e. 2 KSKs+1 ZSK for a KSK
+     rollover scenario).
+     a) Edit the $INCLUDE lines in the zones to include the correct keys
+     b) Edit bin/sign.sh to use the correct keys
+  3) when prompted, (re)start BIND and NSD:
+     a) ./bin/run_bind.sh
+     b) ./bin/run_nsd.sh
+
+To do other response size tests:
+
+  1) Edit the zone files and run ./bin/sign.sh.  This is to match the
+     particular scenario that you are testing.  In general, you only
+     need one of each type of key.  Only the key sizes matter (unless
+     you are testing a double-signature case).
+  2) (Re)start BIND and/or NSD
+     a) ./bin/run_bind.sh
+     b) ./bin/run_nsd.sh
+
+  3) run response_sizes.py.  This takes a list of
+     "zonefile:origin[:include glue]" elements on the command line.
+     For example:
+
+     % ./bin/response_sizes.py -p 4053 root.zone.signed:. \
+       arpa.zone.signed:arpa root-servers.net.signed:root-servers.net:1 \
+       > size.data 2> histograms
+
+     This will output the raw size data to stdout and histogram data
+     to stderr.
