Abstract:
RFC7368 'IPv6 Home Networking Architecture Principles' section 3.7
describes architecture principles related to naming and service
discovery in residential home networks.
Customer Edge Routers and other Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs)
are designed to provide IP connectivity to home networks. Most CPEs
assign IP addresses to the nodes of the home network which makes them
good candidates for hosting the naming service. IPv6 provides global
connectivity, and nodes from the home network will be reachable from
the global Internet. As a result, the naming service is expected to
be exposed on the Internet.
However, CPEs have not been designed to host such a naming service
exposed on the Internet. Running a naming service visible on the
Internet may expose the CPEs to resource exhaustion and other
attacks, which could make the home network unreachable, and most
probably would also affect the internal communications of the home
network.
In addition, regular end users may not understand, or possess the
necessary skills to be able to perform, DNSSEC management and
configuration. Misconfiguration may also result in naming service
disruption, thus these end users may prefer to rely on third party
name service providers.
This document describes a homenet naming architecture, where the CPEs
manage the DNS zones associated with its own home network, and
outsource elements of the naming service (possibly including DNSSEC
management) to a third party running on the Internet.
