1. New Terms and Abbreviations
The following terms and abbreviations are added to Section 6 of
[RFC8499].
DNS-over-TLS (DoT): DNS over TLS as defined in [RFC7858] and its
successors.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH): DNS over HTTPS as defined in [RFC8484] and its
successors.
DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ): DNS over QUIC as defined in
[I-D.ietf-dprive-dnsoquic]
Classic DNS: DNS over UDP or TCP as defined in [RFC1035] and its
successors. Classic DNS applies to DNS communication between stub
resolvers and recursive resolvers, and between recursive resolvers
and authoritative servers. This has sometimes been called "Do53".
Classic DNS is not encrypted.
Recursive DoT (RDoT): RDoT specifically means DNS-over-TLS for
transport between a stub resolver and a recursive resolver, or
between a recursive resolver and another recursive resolver. This
term is necessary because it is expected that DNS-over-TLS will
later be defined as a transport between recursive resolvers and
authoritative servers,
Authoritative DoT (ADoT): If DNS-over-TLS is later defined as a
transport between recursive resolvers and authoritative servers,
ADoT specifically means DNS-over-TLS for transport between
recursive resolvers and authoritative servers.

Sara Dickinson contributed ideas before the first draft was
published. Warren Kumari contributed the idea for "Applications
Doing DNS" as a term. Many people contributed the idea that it is
better to define terms rather than just acronyms.
