Right. But all DNS in the past (and most in the present) is small, stateless UDP packets. RFC1546 Anycast allows PPLB on diverse links. But future DNS will use large UDP packets, fragments, and more TCP.
That's a big change for something we depending so much on today. Perhaps this future DNS should have a new name and use a different well known port to avoid confusion. I suggest calling it "LDAP" and using ports 389/636. Add "discourages protocol bloat" to the list of well known benefits of anycast DNS. - Kevin _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
