Really. Sorry I got side-tracked, my like for SVCINFO has nothing to do with broken middle boxes. It's about discovering all needed information to correctly connect to needed service with one DNS query. Imagine you deploy HTTPv2 server reachable only via QUIC in IPv6, how will client figure out correct IP address, correct protocol version, correct transport protocol on A/AAAA, SRV and SVCINFO? SVCINFO can deliver that information in single query. -- ++ytti
