[[/Client]]


The SVCB RR has two modes: 
   1) AliasMode (Section 2.4.2), which
   aliases a name to another name and 2) ServiceMode (Section 2.4.3),
   which provides connection information bound to a service endpoint
   domain.  

Placing both forms in a single RR type allows clients to
fetch the relevant information with a single query (Section 2.3).

[[/AliasMode]]


== history ==
{{{
The SVCB RR has two required fields and one optional field.  The fields are:

   SvcPriority (Section 2.4.1):  The priority of this record (relative
      to others, with lower values preferred).  A value of 0 indicates
      AliasMode.

   TargetName:  The domain name of either the alias target (for
      AliasMode) or the alternative endpoint (for ServiceMode).

   SvcParams (optional):  A list of key=value pairs describing the
      alternative endpoint at TargetName (only used in ServiceMode and
      otherwise ignored).  SvcParams are described in Section 2.1.
}}}

2.1.  Zone-File Presentation Format

   The presentation format <RDATA> of the record ([RFC1035],
   Section 5.1) has the form:

   SvcPriority TargetName SvcParams

   The SVCB record is defined specifically within the Internet ("IN")
   Class ([RFC1035], Section 3.2.4).


2.2.  RDATA Wire Format

The RDATA for the SVCB RR consists of:

   *  a 2-octet field for SvcPriority as an integer in network byte order.

   *  the uncompressed, fully qualified TargetName, represented as a
      sequence of length-prefixed labels per Section 3.1 of [RFC1035].

   *  the SvcParams, consuming the remainder of the record (so smaller
      than 65535 octets and constrained by the RDATA and DNS message sizes).
