Compacted-DNS : A Format for DNS Packet Capture
RFC 8618, “Compacted-DNS : A Format for DNS Packet Capture”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2019 by J. Dickinson, J. Hague, S. Dickinson, T. Manderson, J. Bond. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a data representation for collections of DNS messages. The format is designed for efficient storage and transmission of large packet captures of DNS traffic; it attempts to minimize the size of such packet capture files but retain the full DNS message contents along with the most useful transport metadata. It is intended to assist with the development of DNS traffic- monitoring applications.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
