Because when downloading content, what matters is throughput.The byterange extensions in http mean that it is possible to resume a session interrupted part way through if it is static content. For DNS the pattern is a tiny number of one packet interactions per hour with exceptionally tight latency. If the anycast changes then you are going to have to timeout and resume. _______________________________________________ dns-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dns-privacy
