EDNS0

  • Artículo

Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) are optional protocol elements that can be included in communications between DNS requestors and DNS responders. EDNS0 refers to the first RFC for EDNS (RFC 2671), which permits DNS requestors to advertise the size of their UDP packets and facilitates the transfer of packets larger than 512 octets. For more information about EDNS0, see Using Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0).
