title: What does QD stand for in DNS RFC1035
body: <p>I was just curious about the nomenclature of certain variables part of DNS's RFC: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt" rel="noreferrer">https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt</a></p>
  
  <p>While I was able to find most other acronyms : </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>AN in ANCOUNT seems stands for <strong>An</strong>swer</li>
  <li>NS in NSCOUNT stands for <strong>N</strong>ame <strong>S</strong>erver</li>
  <li>AR in ARCOUNT stands for <strong>A</strong>dditional <strong>R</strong>ecord</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I was wondering what does "<strong>QD</strong>" stand for in the "<strong>QD</strong>COUNT"?</p>
