  2. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    When the length of the answer exceeds 512 bytes and both client and server support Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS), larger UDP packets may be used. [41] Use of DNS over UDP is limited by, among other things, its lack of transport-layer encryption, authentication, reliable delivery, and message length.

  3. Microsoft DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_DNS

    Microsoft's DNS client also has optional support for local caching, in the form of a DNS Client service (also known as DNSCACHE). Before they attempt to directly communicate with DNS servers, the library routines first attempt to make a local IPC connection to the DNS Client service on the machine. If there is one, and if such a connection can ...

  4. Public recursive name server - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_recursive_name_server

    A public recursive name server (also called public DNS resolver) is a name server service that networked computers may use to query the Domain Name System (DNS), the decentralized Internet naming system, in place of (or in addition to) name servers operated by the local Internet service provider (ISP) to which the devices are connected. Reasons ...

  5. DNS zone transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_zone_transfer

    The actual data transfer process begins by the client sending a query (opcode 0) with the special query type AXFR (value 252) over the TCP connection to the server. Although DNS technically supports AXFR over User Datagram Protocol (UDP), it is considered not acceptable due to the risk of lost, or spoofed packets.

  6. SRV record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record

    IN: standard DNS class field (this is always IN). SRV: Type of Record (this is always SRV). priority: the priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred. weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority, higher value means higher chance of getting picked. port: the TCP or UDP port on which the service is to be found.

  7. Extension Mechanisms for DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_mechanisms_for_DNS

    Moreover, DNS messages carried by UDP were restricted to 512 bytes, not considering the Internet Protocol (IP) and transport layer headers. [3] Resorting to a virtual circuit transport, using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), would greatly increase overhead. This presented a major obstacle to adding new features to DNS.

  8. Transmission Control Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

    Because TCP packets do not include a session identifier, both endpoints identify the session using the client's address and port. Whenever a packet is received, the TCP implementation must perform a lookup on this table to find the destination process.

  9. Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-Local_Multicast_Name...

    The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to perform name resolution for hosts on the same local link.
