Please explain:
 
With DNSSEC tcp is almost a must. Same with IPv6.
Is EDNS0 not sufficient?
 
Thanks,
Ken

Subject: Re: tcp versus udp

Hello Martin,

since a major outage at my provider, dtag.de or Deutsche Telecom AG, I have trouble
with f.root-servers.net. Sometimes "dig ... +vc" does help me to see f.root-servers.net.

The real problem is anycast. With udp it behaves different than with tcp.

When querying servers that are difficult to reach, sometimes you are more lucky with
tcp than with udp.

Amplification attacks using nameservers don't work with tcp.

Sometimes bugs in resolvers sometimes in clients cause failover to tcp.

With DNSSEC tcp is almost a must. Same with IPv6.


Kind regards
Peter
