   EXTENDED-RCODE  Forms upper 8 bits of extended 12-bit RCODE.  Note
                   that EXTENDED-RCODE value "0" indicates that an
                   unextended RCODE is in use (values "0" through "15").

   VERSION         Indicates the implementation level of whoever sets
                   it.  Full conformance with this specification is
                   indicated by version "0."  Requestors are encouraged
                   to set this to the lowest implemented level capable
                   of expressing a transaction, to minimize the
                   responder and network load of discovering the
                   greatest common implementation level between
                   requestor and responder.  A requestor's version
                   numbering strategy should ideally be a run time
                   configuration option.

                   If a responder does not implement the VERSION level
                   of the request, then it answers with RCODE=BADVERS.

                   VERSION level of the request, but the VERSION of each
                   response will be the highest implementation level of
                   the responder.  In this way a requestor will learn
                   the implementation level of a responder as a side
                   effect of every response, including error responses,
                   including RCODE=BADVERS.

   Z               Set to zero by senders and ignored by receivers,
                   unless modified in a subsequent specification.

5 - Transport Considerations

5.1. The presence of an OPT pseudo-RR in a request should be taken as an
     indication that the requestor fully implements the given version of
     EDNS, and can correctly understand any response that conforms to
     that feature's specification.

5.2. Lack of use of these features in a request must be taken as an
     indication that the requestor does not implement any part of this
     specification and that the responder may make no use of any
     protocol extension described here in its response.

5.3. Responders who do not understand these protocol extensions are
     expected to send a response with RCODE NOTIMPL, FORMERR, or
     SERVFAIL.  Therefore use of extensions should be "probed" such that
     a responder who isn't known to support them be allowed a retry with
     no extensions if it responds with such an RCODE.  If a responder's
     capability level is cached by a requestor, a new probe should be
     sent periodically to test for changes to responder capability.

6 - Security Considerations

     Requestor-side specification of the maximum buffer size may open a
     new DNS denial of service attack if responders can be made to send
     messages which are too large for intermediate gateways to forward,
     thus leading to potential ICMP storms between gateways and
     responders.

7 - IANA Considerations

     The IANA has assigned RR type code 41 for OPT.

     It is the recommendation of this document and its working group
     that IANA create a registry for EDNS Extended Label Types, for EDNS
     Option Codes, and for EDNS Version Numbers.

     This document assigns label type 0b01xxxxxx as "EDNS Extended Label
     Type."  We request that IANA record this assignment.

     This document assigns extended label type 0bxx111111 as "Reserved
     for future extended label types."  We request that IANA record this
     assignment.

     This document assigns option code 65535 to "Reserved for future
     expansion."

     This document expands the RCODE space from 4 bits to 12 bits.  This
     will allow IANA to assign more than the 16 distinct RCODE values
     allowed in [RFC1035].

     This document assigns EDNS Extended RCODE "16" to "BADVERS".

     IESG approval should be required to create new entries in the EDNS
     Extended Label Type or EDNS Version Number registries, while any
     published RFC (including Informational, Experimental, or BCP)
     should be grounds for allocation of an EDNS Option Code.
