The network element enforces organization defined limitations on the embedding of data types within other data types.

Description
Allowing traffic to bypass the security checkpoints such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems puts the network infrastructure and critical data at risk. Malicious traffic could enter the network undetected and attack a key network element or the server farm. Hence, it is imperative all tunneled traffic entering the network terminate prior to the content checking devices. Enforcement of limitations on embedding of data types is not a function of DNS.
