> This document updates RFC2535 and RFC2874 (A6)  to demand larger
> UDP message size than 512  bytes. This document mandates that any
> entity supporting either DNSSEC or A6 records must support EDNS0 on
queries
> and responses.
> The motivation(s) for this is the increase in size of DNS answers caused
> by DNSSEC, IPng, TSIG and large the desire for large answer sets.
> The document assumes that modern operating systems can do UDP reassembly,
> thus this the single UDP message requirement can be relaxed and this is
> less costly than falling back on TCP for all large answers.

> This WG last call ends December 17'th 2000.
