It updates the definition of TTL from {[}RFC1034{]}, {[}RFC1035{]}, and {[}RFC2181{]} to make it clear that data can be kept in the cache beyond the TTL expiry and used for responses when a refreshed answer is not readily available. One of the motivations for serve-stale is to make the DNS more resilient to DoS attacks, and thereby make them less attractive as an attack vector.}, }
