DNS Label Types Registration Procedures IESG Approval Reference [RFC-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0-10] Note IETF standards action required to allocate new types The top 2 bits of the first byte of an DNS label indicates the type of label. Registration of further Extended Label Types is closed per [RFC-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0-10]. Value Type Status Reference 0 0 Normal label lower 6 bits is the length of the label Standard [RFC1035] 1 1 Compressed label the lower 6 bits and the 8 bits from next octet form a pointer to the compression target. Standard [RFC1035] 0 1 Extended label type the lower 6 bits of this type (section 3) indicate the type of label in use Proposed [RFC-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0-10] 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 Binary Label Experimental not recommended [RFC3364][RFC3363][RFC2673] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Reserved for future expansion. Proposed [RFC-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0-10] 1 0 Unallocated

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static boolean`	`isCompressedName(byte namePrefix)`
`static boolean`	`isUncompressedName(byte namePrefix)`
`static String`	`readLabelData(NetworkData buffer)`
`static String`	`readName(NetworkData buffer)`
`static String`	`readNameUsingBuffer(NetworkData buffer)`	Optimized version of the readName method, this version uses a shared buffer to prevent having to keep allocating memory for new strings. the buffers is used to store all bytes for the string and when all bytes have been found the bytes are converted into a String.
`static String`	`readNameUsingBuffer(NetworkData buffer, byte[] stringBuffer)`
`static void`	`writeLabelData(String value, NetworkData buffer)`
`static byte[]`	`writeName(String name)`
`static void`	`writeName(String name, NetworkData buffer)`
