Eastlake 3rd}, title = {{Bigger Domain Name System UDP Replies}}, pagetotal = 6, year = 1998, month = jun, day = 26, abstract = {The Domain Name System defaults to using UDP for queries and replies with a DNS payload limit of 512 bytes. Larger replies cause an initial truncation indication leading to a subsequent handling via TCP with substantially higher overhead. An extension to DNS UDP requests is specified which frequently permits larger UDP responses thus reducing the need for use of TCP.}, }
