Abstract:
   DNS messages between clients and servers may be received over either
   UDP or TCP.  UDP transport involves keeping less state on a busy
   server, but can cause truncation and retries over TCP.  Additionally,
   UDP can be exploited for reflection attacks.  Using TCP would reduce
   retransmits and amplification.  However, clients are currently
   limited in their use of the TCP transport as most implementations
   limit the TCP session to a single DNS query and answer, making use of
   TCP only suitable as a fallback protocol for UDP.

   This document defines an EDNS0 option ("edns-tcp-keepalive") that
   allows DNS clients and servers to signal their respective readiness
   to conduct multiple DNS transactions over individual TCP sessions.
   This signalling facilitates a better balance of UDP and TCP transport
   between individual clients and servers, reducing the impact of
   problems associated with UDP transport and allowing the state
   associated with TCP transport to be managed effectively with minimal
   impact on the DNS transaction time.
