See wiki:EDNS0#a5670client.EDNSResolverFixedUDPPayloadSize

Start with a basic EDNSResolver with a fixed UDP payload size and which only does TCP fallback.

Requirements:

  1. An implementation of t.i.interfaces.IResolver which sends EDNS(0) queries by default.
    • Wraps client.Resolver
    • Supplies an EDNSMessage factory to allow setting EDNS specific fields for all queries.
  2. Get / set AD, CD
  3. Get / set DO field. Default to "unset"
  4. Get / set VERSION. Default to 0.
  5. Get / set maximum UDP payload size.
  6. Detect servers which do not support EDNS(0) and fall back.
    1. ONLY fallback if DO is "unset"
    2. non-EDNS UDP query
    3. TCP query

Exclusions:

  1. We will not implement an API for manipulating OPT variable fields at this stage. See "Variable EDNS0 Option Codes" below.
