The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Terminology' <draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8499bis-09.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-09-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Domain Name System (DNS) is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs. The terminology used by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has changed in the decades since the DNS was first defined. This document gives current definitions for many of the terms used in the DNS in a single document. This document updates RFC 2308 by clarifying the definitions of "forwarder" and "QNAME". It obsoletes RFC 8499 by adding multiple terms and clarifications. Comprehensive lists of changed and new definitions can be found in Appendicies A and B. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8499bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
