Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   While EDNS0 provides a mechanism for the DNS to use large UDP packets, 
   IP fragmentation is not perfect. This document proposes techniques to
   avoid IP fragmentation in DNS, and provides advice to DNS operators.

Working Group Summary

The working group had a few issues to work through. There are no remaining issues and
there is solid consensus on the final document. The document was initially sent to
the IESG, and then returned to the WG (at the authors / chairs / WGs request) 
to have an implementation section added. This has (IMO) significantly improved
the utility of the document.


Document Quality

   The document is clear, and of good quality. 

Personnel

   Tim Wicinski is DS
   Warren Kumari is RAD!!!! (and easily amused)
