Abstract

The default DNS transport uses UDP on port 53. There are many motivations why users or operators may prefer to avoid sending DNS traffic in this way. A common solution is to use port 80 or 443; with plain TCP, TLS-encrypted TCP, or full HTTP(S). This memo reviews the possible approaches and delivers some useful information for developers.
