I was using the Java tester on a Windows system and saw the same 4096/3843 as I'd seen with DIG and just now noticed this comment in its results:
"Note: There will always be a difference between the announced and measured buffer size because of the algorithm used. However this difference should not exceed 300 bytes." Also one of the links I sent earlier had a similar comment about less than 300 bytes difference not being a problem. I had missed that. 4096 - 3843 = 153 It seems if I'd paid attention I'd not have posted my follow up questions. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Peter Laws Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 4:29 PM To: Kalman Feher Cc: bind-us...@isc.org Subject: Re: Preparing for upcoming DNSSEC changes on 5/5 On 05/03/10 14:56, Kalman Feher wrote: > You probably should.

The changes on the The network path to dns-oarc.net doesn't, but that doesn't really mean anything. To some resolvers, the path may support 4096 while to others it is 591. Who knows where the constriction is? I still don't see the point of setting it to something *smaller* than the default unless I knew for certain that MY stuff couldn't handle a larger size. 12 of the 16 hops twixt here and there are far beyond my control (and the other 4 only marginally :-). Besides, we've seen one example where setting it smaller results in yet a smaller result. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology pl...@ou.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?
