DNS Protocol Library

Encoder Decoder

DNS Protocol Library

Simple C++ library designed for encoding and decoding of DNS protocol packets. It doesn’t provide any functionality related to network (listening for packets, sending packets, etc.). Library is strictly focused on handling of DNS protocol packets - mapping of raw (wire) data to C++ structures (classes) and vice versa.

Current implementation covers

RFC 1035 DOMAIN NAMES - IMPLEMENTATION AND SPECIFICATION
RFC 2915 The Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) DNS Resource Record
RFC 3596 DNS Extensions to Support IP Version 6
