The document specifies the requirements for support TCP as a transport protocol
for DNS. It also provides guidelines on optimizing performance of DNS over TCP.

2. Review and Consensus

This document was actively discussed and reviewed, partially because this is a
revision of an older RFC, but also as more DNS falls back to TCP (DNSSEC) and
the need for DNS to support the DNS-over-TLS work in DPRIVE working group.  The
community feels updating the older RFC is well needed. This also include the
initial author of RFC5966.

The document had a broad discussion as the wording of several points were more
accurately described. Once these issues were resolved, consensus was strong
with no complaints.

The shepherd did a deep editorial review of this draft and found it to be
solid.  The shepherd has no concerns moving forward.
