## What is ECS?
|
||||
|
||||
EDNS Client-Subnet is a DNS extension letting the authoritative nameserver know your /24 or /56 (IPv6). /24 is the first three parts of your IPv4 address, /56 is 256 /64s and the recommendation to assign to you (although some ISPs just give you a /64).
|
||||
EDNS Client-Subnet is a DNS extension letting the authoritative nameserver
|
||||
know your `/24` (IPv4) or `/56` (IPv6).
|
||||
|
||||
- /24 is the first three parts of your IPv4 address e.g. 192.0.2.xxx.
|
||||
The last part of your IP address (the xxx) again is a number between 1
|
||||
to 254 (since 0 is reserved for the network itself and 255 is the
|
||||
broadcast address).
|
||||
- `/56` includes 256 `/64`s and if your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
|
||||
follows [RFC 6177](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6177),
|
||||
it's assigned solely to you meaning the authoritative nameserver will know
|
||||
the request originated from your network.
|
||||
- However many ISPs, especially wireless ones,
|
||||
will just assign you a `64` which is required for
|
||||
[stateless address autoconfiguration](<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAAC#Stateless_address_autoconfiguration_(SLAAC)>)
|
||||
which is the most common way of getting IPv6 address in your local area
|
||||
network as opposed to IPv4 where you would have
|
||||
[Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol).
