Technical Summary
This document specifies the EDNS(0) ’Padding’ option, which allows
DNS clients and servers to pad request and response messages by a
variable number of octets.

Standard while it is deployed.
Working Group Summary
This document was brought to the working group and immediately found
consensus. The only process issue was that this was being handled by
the DPRIVE working group, and not DNSOP. It was quickly confirmed by
the co-chairs and the area director of DNSOP that this document could be
handled here, and there was plenty of DNS subject experts to provide
expert reviews
This document had wide consensus, and there was little controversy in
this.
Document Quality
This is a well structured, well written and concise document. WG LC, and
IETF LC have been uncontroversial.
