A quick update on the draft status and what big changes are published in -08: 1) We removed the rcode binding/copying, after good discussion with implementation issues at IETF105. This turned out to be tricky to implement, since in many cases the EDE information is generated before an RCODE is actually known. So the draft is now just a list of un-bound info codes. 2) The R bit is similarily dropped, due to (un)popular demand. There was a lot of discussion about its usefulness, especially being unauthenticated, and it was clear most (all?) implementations were not going to look at it. So out it goes. The result of #1 and #2 is a very clean packet now, which should be simple to implement and parse :-) 3) As to the draft status, we went back and processed all comments up until yesterday and the draft reflects current consensus as we know it. [we recognize there are comments today that we haven't read yet]. It has *not* been picked for all possible nits, and needs a complete pass at this point. Feel free to give us high level concept suggestions about the re architecture of everything, or if you're really bored you could give us grammatical recommendations too, but there will be a lot and it might be wiser to just wait till we take a pass and push a -09. 4) Now that this has had multiple implementations (though they'll need to change after the packet format and code changes [that they requested]), this is likely ready for last call after passing through the document for nits and addressing any last comments raised. We'll communicate with the chairs about the timing of a LC. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
