Suggestions?
The lease time is something configured on the gateway. It's not really related to the TTL, since the expectation is that the device will renew over and over, even if the lease time is short. And if the device moves to a different location, it probably won't be able to register the same name, so a stale record won't be a major problem. Personally I'd use a value of 3600; it doesn't give you a ton of caching, but that doesn't matter for a name that is almost never looked up by anyone. Caching google.com is really important. Caching washing-machine.brattlegrad.fugue.com, not so much. As for the document, if it's worth documenting, it's worth someone writing the document. If you want the person who first suggested it to you to get credit, mention them in the acknowledges and wax poetic about the greatness of their contribution. If you want to make sure that the work gets documented, write the document if they won't. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
