[RSSAC Caucus] Updating the RSSAC FAQ

[Geoff Huston]

"there was a common expectation that IP packets on the Internet were limited to 576 bytes.”


no

there was a common _requirement_ that all IPv4 hosts had to accept an IP packet up to 576 bytes iun suze

RFC791:
 Every internet destination must be able to receive a datagram of 576 octets either in one piece or in fragments to be reassembled.


"Finally, many more resolvers today are capable of falling back to TCP when they receive a truncated response over UDP”

really? Where is the study that publishes this finding?

thanks,


Geoff

Through researching that question with the help of input from community members we developed a new answer for this question in the RSSAC FAQ. Rather than just update that single question in the FAQ the RSSAC Admin Committee decided to use this as an opportunity to update the entire FAQ for 2020.
