1. New Terms and Abbreviations
The following terms and abbreviations are added to Section 6 of
[RFC8499].
DNS-over-TLS (DoT): DNS over TLS as defined in [RFC7858] and its
successors.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH): DNS over HTTPS as defined in [RFC8484] and its
successors.
Classic DNS: DNS over UDP or TCP as defined in [RFC1035] and its
successors. Classic DNS applies to DNS communication between stub
resolvers and recursive resolvers, and between recursive resolvers
and authoritative servers.' Classic DNS is not encrypted.
Recursive DoT (RDoT): RDoT specifically means DNS-over-TLS for
transport between a stub resolver and a recursive resolver, or
between a recursive resolver and another recursive resolver. This
term is necessary because it is expected that DNS-over-TLS will
later be defined as a transport between recursive resolvers and
authoritative servers,
Authoritative DoT (ADoT): If DNS-over-TLS is later defined as the
transport between recursive resolvers and authoritative servers,
ADoT specifically means DNS-over-TLS for transport between
recursive resolvers and authoritative servers.
