The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal Channel Specification' (draft-ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis-08.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the DDoS Open Threat Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benjamin Kaduk and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis/ Technical Summary This document specifies the Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel, a protocol for signaling the need for protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks to a server capable of enabling network traffic mitigation on behalf of the requesting client. This document obsoletes RFC 8782. The major change is to use YANG structures instead of an ad-hoc construction. Working Group Summary Shortly after RFC 8782 was published in May 2020 a problem with a YANG module defined in it was discovered. The WG decided to publish a -bis document to fix the problem. The -00 version of the draft was prepared fairly quickly (in June 2020) and the document was adopted in August 2020 (with a good WG support for adoption). The draft has been widely discussed and reviewed. Document Quality This draft is a -bis document for RFC 8782, its main purpose is to fix YANG module. In addition it provides more comprehensive description of error handling and makes minor changes to DOTS CBOR Key Values allocation. This document doesn't change the DOTS Signal Channel protocol itself, in particular it doesn't change bits on the wire. DOTS Signal Channel protocol was thoroughly discussed and reviewed. There are at least two interoperable implementations of this protocol. The updated YANG module has been reviewed by YANG Doctors, who confirmed that they don't have problems with it. Personnel Valery Smyslov is the document shepherd. Benjamin Kaduk is the responsible AD _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
