1. Introduction 1. Introduction
EDNS version 0 was standardized in 1999, but non-RFC 1035 compliant Neither the original DNS standard RFC 1035 nor its extensions RFC
implementations still exist and cause lot of extra queries and 2671 and RFC 6891 allow not to respond to a DNS query. Many years
complicated logic in recursive resolvers. RFC 6891 clearly states later non-compliant implementations which drop queries still exist
that FORMERR is the only acceptable answer for implementations and cause lot of extra queries, latency, and complicated logic in
without support for EDNS. The cost of supporting these non-compliant recursive resolvers. The cost of supporting these non-compliant
implementations keeps increasing. implementations keeps increasing.
