I've read this draft and support it, it is good to have a stable
reference to this sort of information.
Since the content is purely written to be info instead of practice I
think it should be published as "Informational" although I wouldn't
mind BCP status.
One very minor nit: In 3.2 readers have to dive into the perlcode to understand
what the simulations mean. Some introduction would help.
Suggested text:
The following output from a response simulator demonstrates these
properties. thhe program simulates the packet sizes as a function of
number of NS RRs, A and AA glue records. It returns the size of a
packet and the number of glue records that fit in that packet for
the cases that the NS RRs do or do not share a common name and for
an average (64 byte) and a worst case (256 byte) sized QNAME.
We the term "green" if all address records could fit, or "orange" if
two or more could fit, or "red" if fewer than two could fit. It's
clear that without a common parent for nameserver names, much space
would be lost.
% perl respsize.pl 13 13 0
common name, average case: msg:303 glue#13 (green)
common name, worst case: msg:495 glue# 1 (red)
uncommon name, average case: msg:457 glue# 3 (orange)
uncommon name, worst case: msg:649(*) glue# 0 (red)
% perl respsize.pl 13 13 2
common name, average case: msg:303 glue#11 (orange)
common name, worst case: msg:495 glue# 1 (red)
uncommon name, average case: msg:457 glue# 2 (orange)
I support the document even without this nit being addressed. Sorry
for bringing this up during last call.
