+
+/// The \c EDNS class represents the %EDNS OPT RR defined in RFC2671.
+///
+/// This class encapsulates various optional features of %EDNS such as
+/// the UDP payload size or the DNSSEC DO bit, and provides interfaces
+/// to manage these features. It is also responsible for conversion
+/// to and from wire-format OPT RR.
+/// One important exception is about the extended RCODE:
+/// The \c EDNS class is only responsible for extracting the 8-bit part
+/// of the 12-bit extended RCODE from the OPT RR's TTL field of an
+/// incoming message, and for setting the 8-bit part into the OPT RR TTL
+/// of an outgoing message. It's not supposed to know how to construct the
+/// complete RCODE, much less maintain the RCODE in it.
+/// It is the caller's responsibility (typically the \c Message class).
+///
+/// When converting wire-format OPT RR into an \c EDNS object, it normalizes
+/// the information, i.e., unknown flags will be ignored on construction.
+///
+/// This class is also supposed to support %EDNS options such as NSID,
+/// but the initial implementation does not include it. This is a near term
+/// TODO item.
+///
+/// <b>Notes to developers</b>
+///
+/// The rest of the description is for developers who need to or want to
+/// understand the design of this API.
+///
+/// Representing %EDNS is tricky. An OPT RR is no different from other RRs
+/// in terms of the wire format syntax, and in that sense we could use the
+/// generic \c RRset class to represent an OPT RR (BIND 9 adopts this
+/// approach). But the resulting interface would be inconvenient for
+/// developers. For example, the developer would need to know that the
+/// UDP size is encoded in the RR Class field. It's better to provide
+/// a more abstract interface along with the special semantics of OPT RR.
+///
+/// Another approach would be to realize each optional feature of EDNS
+/// as an attribute of the DNS message.
+/// NLnet Labs' ldns takes this approach.
+/// This way an operation for specifying the UDP size would be written
+/// like this:
+/// \code message->setUDPSize(4096); \endcode
+/// which should be more intuitive.
+/// A drawback of this approach is that OPT RR is itself optional and the
+/// separate parameters may not necessarily indicate whether to include an
+/// OPT RR per se.
+/// For example, consider what should be done with this code:
+/// \code message->setUDPSize(512); \endcode
+/// Since the payload size of 512 is the default, it may mean the OPT RR
+/// should be skipped. But it might also mean the caller intentionally
+/// (for some reason) wants to insert an OPT RR specifying the default UDP
+/// size explicitly.
+///
+/// So, we use a separate class that encapsulates the EDNS semantics and
+/// knows the mapping between the semantics and the wire format representation.
+/// This way the interface can be semantics-based and is intuitive:
+/// \code edns->setUDPSize(4096); \endcode
+/// while we can explicitly specify whether to include an OPT RR by setting
+/// (or not setting) an \c EDNS object in a message:
+/// \code message->setEDNS(edns); // unless we do this OPT RR is skipped
+/// \endcode
+///
+/// There is still a non trivial point: How to manage extended RCODEs.
+/// An OPT RR encodes the upper 8 bits of extended 12-bit RCODE.
+/// In general, it would be better to provide a unified interface to get
+/// access to RCODEs whether or not they are traditional 4 bit codes or
+/// extended ones that have non 0 upper bits.
+/// However, since an OPT RR may not appear in a message the RCODE cannot be
+/// maintained in the \c EDNS class.
+/// But it would not be desirable to maintain the extended RCODEs completely
+/// in the \c Message class, either, because we wanted to hide the mapping
+/// between %EDNS semantics and its wire format representation within the
+/// \c EDNS class; if we moved the responsibility about RCODEs to the
+/// \c Message class, it would have to parse and render the upper 8 bits of
+/// the RCODEs, dealing with wire representation of OPT RR.
+/// This is suboptimal in the sense of encapsulation.
+///
+/// As a compromise, our decision is to separate the knowledge about the
+/// relationship with RCODE from the knowledge about the wire format as
+/// noted in the beginning of this description.
+///
+/// This decoupling is based on the observation that the extended RCODE
+/// is a very special case where %EDNS only has partial information.
+/// If a future version of the %EDNS protocol introduces further relationship
+/// between the message and the %EDNS, we might reconsider the interface,
+/// probably with higher abstraction.

+ /// completely polymorphic way. For example, a DNS message parser would
+ /// have to check an OPT RR appears at most once in the message, and if
