Comment on DNS Resolution: A Primerparent

Comments

Even now it's worth doing all compressions possible, with as little CPU use as possible. With something like a DNS server a difference of one byte in the packet size can result in twice as much bandwidth used. At the lowest levels, it's packets, not bytes. Cross the limit for one packet, get two packets, twice as much of bandwidth.
