Data structure to help domain name compression in outgoing messages.
A tree of dnames and their offsets in the packet is kept. It is kept sorted, not canonical, but by label at least, so that after a lookup of a name you know its closest match, and the parent from that closest match. These are possible compression targets.
It is a binary tree, not a rbtree or balanced tree, as the effort of keeping it balanced probably outweighs usefulness (given typical DNS packet size).
| struct compress_tree_node* compress_tree_node::parent |
the parent node - not for tree, but zone parent.
One less label
