[dns-operations] DNS Attack over UDP fragmentation

Hello,

I believe that it is another serious attack against DNS protocol,
or it may be against UDP/IP (especially IPv4).

So, we might set max-udp-size to 1220 for preventing UDP fragmentation.  
And I know anouther "IPv6 Fragment Header Deprecated" I-D at IETF 6man WG.

BTW, sometimes I unofficially call the method as "DNS Aikora Kougeki"
in Japanese.  "Kougeki" means attacks and "Aikora" is Japanese slang,
and it's described here.
