Detailed Description

This file defines the response type.

DNS Responses can be classified as one of the response types.

Function Documentation

response_type_from_cache()

enum response_type response_type_from_cache	(	struct dns_msg *	msg,
		struct query_info *	request
	)

Classifies a response message from cache based on the current request.

Note that this routine assumes that THROWAWAY or LAME responses will not occur. Also, it will not detect REFERRAL type messages, since those are (currently) automatically classified based on how they came from the cache (findDelegation() instead of lookup()).

Parameters

msg	the message from the cache.
request	the request that generated the response.

Returns

the response type (CNAME or ANSWER).

response_type_from_server()

enum response_type response_type_from_server	(	int	rdset,
		struct dns_msg *	msg,
		struct query_info *	request,
		struct delegpt *	dp,
		int *	empty_nodata_found
	)

Classifies a response message (from the wire) based on the current request.

NOTE: currently this routine uses the AA bit in the response to help distinguish between some non-standard referrals and answers. It also relies somewhat on the originating zone to be accurate (for lameness detection, mostly).

Parameters

rdset	if RD bit was sent in query sent by unbound.
msg	the message from the cache.
request	the request that generated the response.
dp	The delegation point that was being queried when the response was returned.
empty_nodata_found	flag to keep track of empty nodata detection.

Returns

the response type (CNAME or ANSWER).
