According to RFC 1035, which transport protocol is recommended for use with DNS queries?

The recommended transport protocol for DNS queries, as specified in RFC 1035, is the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). This is because UDP is a connectionless protocol that allows for quick, low-overhead communication, which is particularly suitable for the nature of DNS queries. DNS resolution typically involves a series of small, simple queries and responses, such as looking up IP addresses from domain names.

Using UDP allows DNS to send queries without needing to establish a connection, leading to faster response times and reduced latency. Despite the lack of reliability mechanisms in UDP, DNS queries generally fit well within its framework because most queries are short and can tolerate some loss. When larger amounts of data need to be sent (like when transferring DNS zone files), TCP can be utilized per the recommendations in the RFC; however, for typical DNS queries, UDP is the preferred choice due to its efficiency and speed.
