| Parameters | id | A 16 bit identifier assigned by the program that generates any kind of 
query.  This identifier is copied to the corresponding reply and can be 
used by the requester to match up replies to outstanding queries. (type: int) | 
| answer | A one bit field that specifies whether this message is a query (0), or a 
response (1). (type: int) | |
| opCode | A four bit field that specifies kind of query in this message.  This value 
is set by the originator of a query and copied into the response. (type: int) | |
| recDes | Recursion Desired - this bit may be set in a query and is copied into the 
response.  If RD is set, it directs the name server to pursue the query 
recursively. Recursive query support is optional. (type: int) | |
| recAv | Recursion Available - this bit is set or cleared in a response and denotes 
whether recursive query support is available in the name server. (type: int) | |

the responding name server is an authority for the domain name in question 
section. (type: int) | |
| trunc | A flag indicating that this message was truncated due to length greater 
than that permitted on the transmission channel. (type: int) | |
| maxSize | The requestor's UDP payload size is the number of octets of the largest UDP
payload that can be reassembled and delivered in the requestor's network 
stack. (type: int) | |
| authenticData | A flag indicating in a response that all the data included in the answer 
and authority portion of the response has been authenticated by the server 
according to the policies of that server. See RFC2535 section-6.1. (type: int) | |
| checkingDisabled | A flag indicating in a query that pending (non-authenticated) data is acceptable to the resolver sending the query. See RFC2535 section-6.1. |
