I missed this when preparing -13.  I'm submitting a new version now that

I don't understond why a forwarder must have "a superset of your own trust 
anchors", but I don't think that understanding is key to the point in the first 
paragraph I quoted above.

I'm bouncing this here at Peter Koch's request, following discussion on the=
 DNSSEC Deployment List that was prompted by the observation that the respo=
nses from Google's recursive service contain an EDNS buffer size indication=
 of 512 bytes.

Currently, RFC 4035, =A73 says:

" A security-aware name server MUST support the EDNS0 ([RFC2671])
  message size extension, MUST support a message size of at least 1220
  octets, and SHOULD support a message size of 4000 octets."

However the response buffer size indicates the receive buffer size of the _=
server_, i.e. how big a _query_ it can receive.

There's no need for the EDNS buffer size supplied in the _response_ to adhe=
re to this recommended minimum.

So far as I can see DNSSEC makes no difference to the size of requests, exc=
ept for the overhead of the OPT RR itself, and that's moot since without th=
at RR there's no buffer size indication anyway.

1) OPT RR is not unique to DNSSEC.  (I'm just stating the obvious.)

2) *MUST support* a message size of X doesn't=20
mean it has to say that (X) in the EDNS0 buffer=20
size.

The word "support" is way too fuzzy to be=20
included in a requirement.  I'm not sure that=20
specifying a value less than 1220 is a violation=20
if the server could do 1220 "if it wanted to".

3) Does the 512 value in the Google server=20
response cause a demonstrable operational=20
problem?  (I.e., or is the issue just that this=20
situation seems to be a violation of the written=20
specification?)

Just because you see a value less than 1220, it doesn't mean that you are
not 100% compliant with this code.  In the thread this came from there
was evidence that the nameservers in question *do* support EDNS at the
required size.

"support" does not mean "will always emit".  These is no MUST NOT emit
EDNS queries/responses with a EDNS UDP size less that 1220.

The latter.  It was suggested (not by me) that _responding_ with a value of=

My argument is that this value is mostly irrelevant in responses, in so muc=

I'd suggest that "support" is actually fine in context - it's just that it'=

this comes close to the point that lead to the suggestion to
continue the discussion in this venue.  "support"
isn't clear enough about the direction and there's
little benefit yet if an authoritative server or
a recursive server on the client facing side would be
able to handle larger packets than 512 payload.
The DNSSEC specification demands that a DO be sent back
in the response, thus an EDNS OPT RR has to be present and
therefore a payload size value must be chosen anyway.

There's little point in understatement here, either.

So, the potential clarification would emphasize that
"support" means 'generating or handling responses'
in section 3 of RFC 4035.

Probably not in this case, but DNS Dynamic Update messages
might change the picture.

Hello all,

Looking through IANA MOA (http://www.iana.org/protocols/), I've noticed 
two interesting registries: "Machine Names" and "OS Names".  For the 
first, no reference was defined, neither was the assignment policy.  The 
second listed RFC 952 as reference and FCFS (see RFC 5226) as assignment 
policy spelled out there, even though RFC 952 says nothing about 
assigning OS names and pointed to RFC 943, "Assigned Numbers".  These 
two registries were grandfathered from this series of RFCs called 
"Assigned Numbers"; however, I've recalled that there is HINFO DNS RR 
which seemed to use similar parameters.

Having looked through RFC 6195, "DNS IANA Considerations", I found 
absolutely nothing which would clarify the situation with these two 
parameters.  Section 3.3.2 of RFC 1035, though, says:

> 3.3.2. HINFO RDATA format
>
>      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
>      /                      CPU                      /
>      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
>      /                       OS                      /
>      +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
>

RFC 1010 actually contained the list of then-assigned parameters, 
pointing to RFC 810 (which had been updated by RFC 952 and also used 
these two parameters).

These two registries are still being quite obscure, you may see; so what 
I propose is to formalize the procedures for assigning the 2 identifiers 
in context of DNS HINFO resource records, writing the document updating 
RFC 6195 and 952.  So any thoughts on this?

Don't bother. HINFO is essentially dead. Pretty much nothing uses it.  
I doubt any software queries for HINFO records. Few zones, if any,  
publish them.

A couple of <character string>s form the RDATA for HINFO. These  
strings don't need or deserve a registry. It simply doesn't matter  
what goes into these strings provided they comply with the wire  
protocol. I am struggling to see why such a registry could be needed  
or why some application would want to care enough to check the result  
of an HINFO lookup against a list of formally registered strings.

RFC1700 was the last reference to a list of names for HINFO records.  
[Interestingly, it imposes limitations on character set and length of  
the names that do not apply to DNS <character-string>s.] That 17 year  
old list contains a remarkable list of long-dead platforms: Gould,  
Pyramid, DEC, Tops-10, SunOS, Multics, etc. I suppose that graveyard  
might have some historical curiosity. Bringing it up to date and  
maintaining it seems pointless though.

What's the use case that's provoked your interest in DNS archeology?

there is no value, operational or otherwise, in "repairing" HINFO. The use
that was once envisioned for, say, FTP, didn't take up and there is no
documented or known use case. Even where used, people have entered free
form text in both of the HINFO fields for various reasons and purposes.
Just for the record, while essentially free of usable semantics, I do
not think HINFO should be declared "Historic".

In any case, the registries you mentioned would not be "owned" by dnsext.

Well, this is quite reasonable for Machine Names (even though RFC 1700 
was published in 1994 but the registry was last updated in 2001).  OS 
Names registry is quite alive (well, if one may say like this); I see 
Windows NT 6.1 (aka Windows 7) there, and the last-updated date is 
2010.  Some entries, of course, are actually really outdated and dead, 
as eg. RiscOS or what you've mentioned.

As I've already mentioned, with respect to the Machine/CPU names, I just 
have nothing to object, really :-)

I guess the limitations of RFC 1700 were drown from RFCs 810/952, but 
I'm not sure.

Frankly speaking, my motivations was "this exists".

Maybe liquidating the Machine Names registry may be an option (I still 
think OS Names is a useful thing)?

Patrik,

I guess you refer to URI RR, which is registered as follows:

> URI          256 URI                                        [Faltstrom]

So you are indeed a right person to ask: where can I find the 
documentation for this RR?

Instead, if new such things really are needed, use more modern mechanisms li=
ke NAPTR or URI rr types (together with definition of the service you are af=

Some zone administrators do still publish them. Locally I found e.g.

 $ dig +short hinfo {axon,moose,navier,roof,zzz}.damtp.cam.ac.uk
 "Sun4u" "Solaris2"
 "PC" "WinXP"
 "PC" "Win7"
 "Mac" "MacOS"
 "PC" "Linux/x86"

(just a sample). But I suspect more people have found useful ways
of maltreating the poor old thing. E.g. in our own zones we have
an apex HINFO record as a version indicator, used as a prereq in
dynamic updates:

 $ dig +short hinfo cam.ac.uk
 "V1" "2011-08-15 11:59:01 UTC"

I chose HINFO because (a) it wasn't TXT (b) it displays nicely
& (c) even 21st-century-ignorant nameserver software can cope
with it.

Hello all,

I understand that draft-cheshire-dnsext-special-names isn't a WG item, 
however it is associated with it, so I think this list is an appropriate 
place to ask the following question.  This draft has been in IESG 
Evaluation state for already near 180 days; I did ask the editors of 
this document whether something is going to happen with respect to it, 
but received no answer.  Maybe somebody on the list knows something on 
this question; in such case could you please tell me?

Hi,

As part of the DNSSEC validation, you lookup the DNSKEY record. If the
DNSKEY record is missing in the response and you receive a NSEC, you can't
do much because to validate NSEC, you need the key again. You can detect
this and abort i.e if you don't have a DNSKEY, abort the validation process
without processing the NSEC. Obviously, this could be part of an attack. But
aborting is still better than asking for keys again and again. I don't see
any text in RFC 4035 regarding this. Perhaps, dnssec-bis implementation can
mention this case ?

thanks
Sean

What would you have it say?  "If you are unable to validate a response
because you don't have adequate information, then . . ."?

I think the right answer is surely, "Bogus, return SERVFAIL", no?

I would just mention the odd case instead of generalizing: "If you are
unable to validate a response because you are not able to fetch DNSKEY
records, the validation process should be aborted".

I think the right answer is surely, "Bogus, return SERVFAIL", no?

Please move to historic - there is still some lingering confusion out
there if A6 is for real or not, and it would be good to put that
discussion to bed.

i have reviewed the thread starting at
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg14615.html>.

While i do not think A6 has any particular value, I wonder where
the alleged confusion would originate from.  RFCs 3363 and 3364
should send a clear message, even though the status of "Experimental"
was a political compromise back then.   Then again, these RFCs
might not be read by the potentially confused, but there's
reasonable doubt that that audience would interpret "Historic"
as intended.

However, A6 was defined in RFC 2874 together with "bitstring labels"
and while their use might be arguable as well, they'd either have to
share fate or be preserved in a separate document since the
status applies to a whole RFC, not just parts.

Operationally, I'd rather not see authoritative server implementations
lose the ability to recognize A6 presentation format ('cause you never
know).

When we did 6renum current practise analysis, we found A6 record is helpful in renumbering cases. However, we then found it has many issues, which has been documented in RFC 3363 and RFC 3364. If A6 stays experimental status, it is really misleading. We should avoid this confusion by moving it to Historic.

However, some current data shows A6 is actually in use. Based on this, moving A6 to historic is much more complex than an IESG decision. We may need more investigation on how these A6 records are current used. We also need to investigate what impact may have if A6 is abolish. Another important question is whether there are A6-only client. It looks a lot investigation and analysis work, which is definitely worth a draft, before we can make the decision to moving A6 into history or start a phase out plan.

Hi Ralph, I'm all for moving A6 from experimental to historic, though I'd l=
ike to understand what the motivator behind it is (cleanup?). Additionally,=
 A6 (RFC2874) depends on Binary Labels (or bit string labels) (RFC2673). Sh=
ould that be moved to historic as well, or should that be left as is? I am =
not aware of any other uses for binary labels (outside of A6).

At Nominet, we still see about 2.5m queries a day for type A6 queries, thou=
gh a representative sample taken of the QNAMEs in the query shows a 0% depl=
oyment of A6 records in the UK namespace. To explain: we see those queries =
at our authoritative servers, and we subsequently send either a delegation =
or an rcode3 (NXDOMAIN) back. The representative sample is taken from the d=
elegated namespace.

If this is moved to historic, I would like to see some text on how to deal =
with A6 records in the future. If they are to be treated as 'unknown record=
s' (RFC3597), it might lead to some interoperability issues, as resolvers t=
hat supported A6 in the past were required to do additional section process=
ing for these records on the wire. Additionally, we need to understand how =
to deal with an A6 record in presentation format. With near zero deployment=
 and a very large installed base that won't be changed overnight, moving so=
mething from experimental to historic for the purpose of 'cleaning up' or '=
avoiding confusion' makes sense. It does come at a cost for those who have =
implemented it and consider their implementation as a reference implementat=
ion.=20

Kind regards,

Roy Arends
Nominet UK

I was recently at the IANA page that lists registered RR types:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters

It's not clear from this list what RR types are more important, which
are less important, which may have special-case uses, and which are
basically worthless. (I love the recent trend to list the "Value and
meaning" as identical to the identifier!)

Moving A6 to historic may have the benefit of being able to change the
label from:

A6           38 A6 (Experimental)                           [RFC3226][RFC2874]

to:

A6           38 A6 (Obsolete - use AAAA)                    [RFC3226][RFC2874][RFCxxxx]

This isn't a huge help, but it is something!

EDNS0bis will disallow extended label types, matching current
implementation practice.  Extended label types require a different
mechanism for discovering zone delegation in resolvers, and it appears
that this has never been implemented anywhere.

Hi Florian,

I dispute that extended label types have never been implemented. Up until B=
IND-9.3.1, bit string labels (using ELT 000001) were supported. However, th=
e text in draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0 already moves bit string label=
s to historic (explicitly), so that deals with at least that concern. By im=
plication, it makes A6 useless, hence lets move that to historic as well.

Kind regards,

yes, it's a mistake.  The current list is neither complete nor consistent.
and while one might argue that the registry MAY contain comments, it is
unclear how they would be entered or maintained.  For the status of
specification (Hist, Exp, Informational or any Standards Track maturity level)
the housekeeping is traditionally done by the RFC Editor, not IANA.
"Obsolete" has unclear meaning, at least doesn't exist in RFC 2026
(other than as a loose equivalent to Historic).
What comes closest is section 3.3 of RFC 2026, but again not an IANA task.

And finally, for those specifications not opriginating from within the IETF,
there's no authoritative source for the status.

The IANA registry is a registry of code points with pointers to specification.
It should not be overloaded with additional information.  There's clearly
a need for such a 'wiki style' repository, but that definitely needs a
different approach.  In an ideal world, the IETF had a marketing/education
wing that would deal with these navigation and accessibility issues (and several
more).  In the real world, ISOC would be a good starting point for these tasks.

The proper resolver behavior was never implemented.  BIND's resolver
assumed that the parent was upgraded to support extended label types
before they were used in a child zone.  To my knowledge, the root never
fully implemented extended label types, so this protocol extension never
took off.

The issue is that a resolver sends the full QNAME to parent servers.  If
the name includes an extended label type and the parent lacks support,
the parent will respond with an error.  An alternative implementation
would incrementally add labels until the delegation is discovered, so
that the parent never sees non-material labels.  This has other
benefits, such as not sending partial call data records around the world
if you use the public ENUM tree under e164.arpa, but I don't think it
has been implemented.

A6 is completely independent of bit-string labels.  The case for declaring
A6 historic has to stand / fall on its own merits.

Actually it isn't a immediate fail.  It's only a fail if the zone is supposed
to be treated as secure by the validator.  If the zone is insecure as far as
the validator is concerned then the answer is legitmate.

Brian Carpenter kicked off the discussion on the 6man mailing list with:

  What do 6man people think about moving RFC 2874 (the A6 record)
  from Experimental to Historic status?

  It's pretty clear that it doesn't have any real value, and
  it can still create confusion for newcomers.

I agree with Brian and am inclined to move A6 to Historic.

+1. Historically in the IETF, moving something to "historic" has caused =

The issue is not the legitimacy of the response itself. What should the
validator do if it can't lookup the DNSKEY record and it receives a NSEC in
response to it ?  Could you clarify as to what you mean by "it isn't a
immediate fail" ?

I'm confused.  Why should A6 be treated any differently than any other =
un-understood RRtype?

Perhaps we should move it to "Don't Waste Your Time"?

To be clear, I'm all for moving A6 to "Historic". I think spending any =
further time on it would fall under =

A6 should indeed be treated the same as any other un-understood
RRtype..... But we should say that somewhere... That's the point.

Cute.

If, in ten years time, folks want to know why we moved A6 to historic, and
what to do when encountering it, they could use a point of reference. Not
documenting doesn't help. Something very similar to RFC3425.

I can work on this. But I need a co-author who can investigate the status of the current A6 usage. Any volunteer?

well, as others have pointed out, there is a reasonable, if small use of A6 in the
wild and just because one sector (6man) is easily confused, does not mean the rest of
us are (dnsext).   it may not have any real value to some, but it apparently does to
a statistically visiable community.  which in my mind is a reason to leave it alone.
but as an actual user of the code point, I fully expect to be overridded by folks
who don't use it and therefore see no reason to keep things around that don't fit their
view of the world.   Thanks for the heads up that you are going to depricate A6.

is the rational for moving this to historic due to the removal of A6 code from one of 
the popular reference implementations back when it was made experimetal or is there some
practical reason to change its status?

It was RFC 3363, " Representing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Addresses in the Domain Name System (DNS)", moved A6 from "proposed standard" to "experimental" status. Also see RFC 3364, "Tradeoffs in Domain Name System (DNS) Support for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)", for some issues A6 has.

Could you please provide a reference to this data?  Does it show that
A6 records are actually published on authoritative servers, or just
that there is type A6 query traffic?

That there is A6 query traffic does not mean that A6 is actually in
use; it probably just means that there are still some recursive
servers in operation that issue internally-generated type A6 queries
when trying to look up missing name server addresses, in addition to
issuing such queries for A and AAAA.

+1 for moving A6 to Historic.

The root servers are getting 100's of A6 q/s (~20:1 AAAA:A6 <http://k.root-servers.org/statistics/GLOBAL/daily/>).

That's right. That's what we need to investigate further.

Isn't that entirely due to obsolete software that queries for A6 instead
of AAAA? Note the A6 queries will never get a positive answer. How does
the rate of ip6.int queries compare?

Yeah.

ISTR A6 lookups found their way into some Linux/glibc implementations  
of gethostbyname() 8-10 years ago. These may well have not been  
replaced or upgraded yet.

A6, as with a handful of other lame duck types, should be marked 
historic with the meaning being "here's the definition of the syntax 
and semantics but it is not required for general purpose 
implementations and is considered to be obsolete."  Other 
dead-on-arrival types include SINK which lives on in the IANA 
registry and in harder-to-find expired drafts.

As far as A6, saying "it's in use" is a weak excuse.  Many old, old 
versions of BIND asked for it and some active name servers have not 
been upgraded for a long time.  I'm all for moving A6 to historic 
because it can be dangerous to the protocol.

When A6 was moved to experimental following the London IETF meeting 
in summer 2001, I had two negative thoughts about A6 despite 
originally thinking it was a really cool answer to renumbering 
problems.

One, no one was able to ever "white board" a scenario showing the 
concept working in front of a small crowd without making a mistake. 
That it, it did not pass a sniff test of being a simple enough to 
explain or operate mechanism.

Two, it could be a denial of service attack vector by inducing a 
resolver into a long-lived "loop" trying to find all of the fragments 
of the address needed to assemble the 128 bits.  Fragments weren't 
guaranteed to line up, so a resolver might find conflicting portions 
of the address.  Even if it seemed it was ultimately guaranteed to 
find an address, the work to get there (including the needed network 
queries) could be considerable.

The lesson learned from the A6 experiment was that the data model of 
DNS had to stick to simple records to preserve the speed feature of 
DNS.  The lesson also applied to DNSSEC, affirming[*] that 
simplifying the default authorization model (the signer domain name 
in the RRSIG ought to be the zone) was a right step.  Ever since then 
we have been trying to make sure the resolver's work is minimized.

[*] I'm not saying this led to RFC 3008, as RFC 3008 was published 
nearly a year earlier.  But it made the restriction more significant.

The fact that root servers are receiving A6 queries does not necessarily =
imply A6 has value.

How are you using it?

X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 03:21:58 -0000

I was pondering why it's such a pain to deploy a new RRTYPE.  First,
you have to change the code in the authoritative servers (BIND,
Maradns, whatever) to parse the new RR.  Nearly everyone uses some
sort of provisioning system with a web front end or the like to manage
the zone files, so you need to make code changes to the provisioning system,
to handle new RRTYPEs, too.

But most RRTYPEs (not all, but most) are syntactically pretty simple.
How hard would it be to define an RRTYPE definition language for DNS
software that could handle most new RRTYPEs?  If we did that, and
systems had a conventional place to put the definitions, analogous to
/etc/ports, then for new RRTYPEs that don't require either exotic
syntax or semantic changes to the DNS, you add a line or two to the
definition file, and you're done.

So I went through the list of all the RRTYPEs to see what sort of
fields they include.  Disregarding the exotic one-off types like the
longitude and latitude in signed milliseconds in LOC records, it's
nearly all names, strings, and integers of various sizes.  Some of the
integers have named values, or are decoded into named bitmask fields,
but it's still pretty simple.

So if we were adding the KX records from RFC 2230, it'd be something
like this:

KX:36 I2 N

Its name is KX, its RRTYPE is 36, and it has two fields, a two-byte
integer and a domain name.  It'd also need some sort of flag to note
that the server should include additional section info for the N
field, which is typical for N fields.

For SSHFP records from RFC 4255:

SSHFP:44 I1 I1 X

The name is SSHFP, type is 44, record contains two one-byte numbers
followed by a hex string.

For the CERT record in RFC 4398 which has named codes, something
like this:

CERT:27  I2<1:PKIX,2:SPKI,3:PGP,4:IPKIX,5:ISPKI,6:IPGP,7:ACPKIX,\
    8:IACPKIX,253:URI,254:OID> I2 \
    I1<1:RSA/MD5,2:Diffie-Hellman,3:DSA/SHA-1,4:Elliptic,5:RSA/SHA-1> B

The CERT record is three numbers followed by a base64 field. The first
and third numbers can also be written as mnemonic values.  (Feel free
to adjust the syntax to be less ugly.)

Again, this isn't supposed to handle every possible new RRTYPE, but I
think it'll handle enough to make it a lot easier to add the sorts of
types that are now punted to TXT records with prefixed names.

R's,
John

 actually,  Ralph has provided the rational for moving to historic.
 "Brian Carpenter was confused."

 and for those of us who use A6,  I guess we will continue to support it
 even if -in its move to historic- unless the IANA choses to revolk its code point,
 which is something I don't think they have ever done for any RR type that was
 defined.  Of course there is always a first time.

Sorry, which "statistically visible community" are you talking about =

Which part of RFC 3364's analysis of A6's issues do you disagree with?

Other than your hacked BIND, is there any other implementation?

which part of RFC 6195 or which other document did i miss that would
put this decision in IANA's hands or would define code point revocation
in the first place?

This is why the unknown record type was invented.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3597

I'm playing with DANE and I can just specify a new RRTYPE without hacking either
bind or nsd or unbound. I just put in the zone:

_443._tcp.www.xelerance.com. IN TYPE65468 \# 34 010130102FA54AE5CD5852D0CFAF1FE5F467C547D766A13410079BB2B01319B702B9

34 is the two bytes for the dane subtype plus 32 bytes for the SHA1 length, telling the parser
who long the rrdate is.

You could express your other examples in this syntax. It might not be the nicest syntax,
but it works.

Perhaps "deploy" means something other than what you think it does.  Yes, 
most DNS servers have an escape syntax that lets you specify arbitrary 
record types in hex or octal.  I've added kludges to my provisioning 
software to translate a syntax for AAAA recors into octal escapes that 
tinydns can handle.

But are you volunteering to take the support calls from all my users to 
explain to them how to translate everything into hex when they want to add 
new records into my provisioning system?  If you expect people who are not 
DNS weenies to use new RRTYPEs, they have to be able to provision them in 
terms they can understand.

DANE is relatively tough, since a useful provisioning system will need not 
just the RR syntax but some way to describe the certs.  But most RRs are 
easier than that, hence this proposal.

A point was missed.  The unknown record type RFC describes how the 
DNS passes back and forth data it doesn't understand and doesn't need 
to.  (The DNS needs to know what's in an SOA, NS, A, AAAA, dnssec, 
MX, CNAME, DNAME and a few others, it doesn't need to know about 
NAPTR, SRV, TXT, and others.)

The "UI" around this can do whatever it wants.

"Your provisioning system" is free to present to the user what ever 
data presentation you want.  It can be in French, Hindi, pictograms 
or even in Hex.  You just need to, behind the scenes, translate it to 
the wire format (or in the printed wire format if you are shoe 
horning this onto something like "a" BIND that needs text file 
input).  And then to present to the user, parse the wire back to 
pretty format.

Applications can put what ever gunk they want into the DNS.  There 
are even type codes reserved that don't need to be documented 
publicly or reserved specially.  All that needs to know how to handle 
it are the ends of the transfer.

The painful part is getting people to switch from the type code used 
in testing to the type code eventually allocated once the paperwork 
is done.

Right.  But my point is that without a working provisioning system, it is 
in practice impossible to use an RR other than for the 0.0001% of people 
who are DNS weenies like us.  Hence my desire to make it easier to update 
them to do so.

Someone needs to translate. Its either your provisioning system, or the user.
In the dane example, I would let the user select "TLSA" and "cert type" and
a hostname, and I'd have the provisioning system to the dane.py call to
probe the TLS and covert it to zonefile digestable syntax. Perhaps let the user
verify it before commiting.

It appears we agree that a new RR such as DANE is not in practice usable 
until there is support for it in provisioning systems.  So would it be a 
good idea to automate adding support to provisioning systems where 
possible?

I don't see the point quite frankly. I doubt anyone will use such a  
beast if it existed because the control panels and what have you that  
are in use today are unlikely to ever be replaced or dragged out of  
the Stone Age. [The week before last one of them told me an IPv6  
address in colon notation was not an IP address!] In general these  
provisioning systems are so tightly coupled to existing business  
processes, CRM systems and back-end databases that they are just too  
difficult to change. And there are other things that those programmer  
hours could be spent on.

Anyhow, further discussion of these provisioning systems isn't needed  
IMO. Just write up an I-D on your proposed extension language (or  
gather a set of requirements). A proper document is the obvious  
starting point for a meaningful discussion.

That (your point) is true for any technology.  Usually the place to 
solve this is in the provisioning interface (the UI) and not the guts 
of the system.  In this case, the DNS already has the guts - unknown 
record type rules - and it is up to "you" to decide what to enter and 
what to extract from the type you want.

It's always been all about the user interface, perhaps the user user 
interface tells an application and the application uses an 
application interface - the same but with a level of indirection.

OTOH, maybe you want to dig up the old SINK RR history (never made it 
to RFC but has a type code reserved) - 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsind-kitchen-sink-02 .  I'm 
not raising that to be funny, maybe I and at least Paul are assuming 
more about the problem then you intend.

Much simpler.  The DNSSEC signed zone is huge and with anycasts =
scattered
around the world downloading the zone from hidden master(s) I just don't
want the AXFR happen if it can be prevented.

So if I had a knob which would turn the AXFR fallback off I could easily
setup an infrastructure which will buzz me if the IXFR cannot be done =
because
something has happened on the master and I could f.e. allow to sync one =
slave
at the time (or few of them).  And there's a lot of stuff which can =
happen
on the master to forget the differences.

The problem is that the 500MB zone * number of anycast slaves (25ish) is
10 GB of data to transfer.  Sure, I can just buy a really fat pipe, but
I am no friend of "throw more money" there solutions when we can have
simple protocol solution.

The IXFR-only is not a mechanism which would be used by small DNS =
operators,
but it can make a difference for huge zone owners like the average =
DNSSEC
signed TLDs.

I'm trying to understand if there is a valid reason to keep A6 as =

As documented in 3364, A6 has many implications. If the work that you've =

You many be right, but that doesn't seem like a reason not to offer a path 
to make them relatively future-resistant, rather than patching each time 
there's a new RR.

I'm happy to do that, but there's not much point if people will just 
insist that either provisioning isn't a problem, or it's too grubby for 
DNSEXT to think about.

Speaking personally, I think it _is_ a problem and I am willing to
review such a draft.

Speaking as a co-chair but without having conferred with Olafur, I'm
not totally sure this is something that would fit correctly in
DNSEXT's charter, since this is in support of wire changes instead of
a protocol issue _per se_.  This might actually be DNSOP fodder
instead.  We can have a jurisdiction fight after there's a draft,
however.

As we figured out when the first A6 implementation was being developed, yes, A6 can be made to work but it introduces a tremendous number of potential nuclear land mines that would make the DNS far more brittle than it already is (I'll admit I still have a bit of bitterness about how all of this was handled).

	to move to historic ...  UNLESS we can practically move to a situation where

Ed,
	This "lesson learned" is a credible reason to move the
RR to historic.  If this is the rational Ralph wants to use - then
I can back its move.  If its just "some people are confused" then 
thats not good enough for me.  Thanks for the cogent arguement.

	all versions of bind are hacked to some degree or other.
	i just put back in the code that ISC had in there in the first place.

	its not (yet) a bespoke DNS authoritative server.

	and not being a DNS server librarian, I have no idea what other
	folks are using/doing - other than what gets seen on the wire.

	certainly not to the roots.  but they have to field all kinds of stray/orphaned

	for doing IPv6 prefix renumbering.  I had to put the code back into BIND when
	ISC stripped it out, then had to fix DHCPv6 to work as DHCP was designed to ...
	so I have DDNS working when nodes are mobile and move between policy domains.

The simplest solution is not to forget the differences.

I was supposed to be doing something else tonight, so I wrote
up a draft of my extension language thing instead.  See

I think this is interesting. I think the main interest I have is that =
its a formalism to describe the new RR, which could be done many ways: C =
struct, ASN.1, (E)BNF.

I think this is no worse than other ways, and it doesn't proscriptively =
limit the SEMANTIC meaning of the new RR.

I wonder if its going to be sufficiently extensible for forseeable =
requirements. SRV for instance encodes structures like regex() which is =
'powerful' (ie complicated)

But that aside, I found the draft readable, and interesting.

I think this is worth discussion.

> I wonder if its going to be sufficiently extensible for forseeable requirements. SRV for instance encodes structures like regex() which is 'powerful' (ie complicated)

SRV is three integers and a domain name.  Do you mean NAPTR?  It includes 
a regex, but the regex isn't interpreted within the DNS, only by clients, 
so as far as the DNS is concerned, it's just a string.

  NAPTR:35 I2 I2 S S S N[A]

I should probably emphasize that this isn't supposed to be the FUSRP*. 
Some RRs require that the DNS server do something new, so if for example 
we added a BNAME record, it'd be easy enough to describe the syntax, but 
that wouldn't tell the DNS server about all the new synthesis rules.

Yes I meant NAPTR.

=46rom the pure theoretical view point, yes.  =46rom the operational =
view,
I cannot agree with you.  You seem to operate on the grounds that
the run environment is perfect, the software is bug free, the people
don't make mistakes.  The operational experience don't concur with
that view.

Simply put, I see this as an design flaw in the original IXFR.
The decision on whether to do an AXFR-style IXFR or not should
be the decision of the slave (the client) and not the master server.
It should not be the decision of the server whether to send a few
megabytes of differences (IXFR) or hundreds of megabytes (AXFR-style).

The IXFR-only is a simple solution to remedy this problem.  It is
backwards compatible with existing servers and clients, nobody is
forced to use it, yet you are strongly opposed claiming that it's
not needed.  Even though at least mine and Shane's experience with
the operations of big-to-huge zones differ.

You are saying people can't properly operate a simple system.

Then, the solution can not be something to make the system more
complex.

It is not.

I think this is an interesting idea.

For auto-provisioning user interfaces I think you need a description for
each field, e.g.

MX:15
  I2      Priority
  N[A,C]  Mail server

SRV:33
  I2    Priority
  I2    Weight
  I2    Port
  N[A]  Server

I think I'd like to see a qualifier for N that restricts
the contained Domain Name to be something that *directly*
leads to an address-RR, as required e.g. for the "target"=20
of SRV-Records (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782).

Kind regards,

Sebastian

Then I would say that we cannot come to agreement and it seems to
be pointless to continue the discussion.

The standard IETF mechanisms (consensus of the WG) would decide
whether the WG wants to have IXFR-ONLY or not.  I am not going
to push this forward if the WG doesn't want to adopt this mechanism.

I had the same thought about five minutes after I posted the draft.  Will 
try and work up a revised version.

You can't enforce that -- even if the target is OK now, someone might 
change it later, and if I'm editing records in a provisioning system, I 
might enter the SRV record before the A records it points to.  We can also 
have an argument about whether anyone still cares about that rule in a 
more than hypothetical way, but not here, please.

I suppose there might be some value in assertions that a provisioning 
system or DNS server could check to warn about semantic errors, but I do 
not want to fall down the slippery slope to reimplementing the entire DNS 
in an interpreter.

If this draft is aimed squarely at provisioning systems, then the =
compression and additional record processing flags are irrelevant. (If =
its aimed more to "encapsulate the machine usable pieces of the defining =
RFC, whatever that machine may be", then not so...)

It can still have some potentially useful advisory role that is still =

Human readable descriptions are advisory too although even less =

record really is the address of the host I intend it to be).

My plan, which I think is expressed reasonably clearly in the draft, is 
that it's also aimed at authoritative server software, so they can handle 
new RRTYPEs without code changes and without having to sneak them in via 
hex escape codes.

It is simply impossible to make protocols fool proof against
severe operational errors such as disk journal corruption.

Attempts to do so will result in complicated protocols with
a lot more operational problems.

If you can't admit so, there can be no agreement, of course.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title           : An Extension Language for the DNS
	Author(s)       : John Levine
	Filename        : draft-levine-dnsextlang-01.txt
	Pages           : 8
	Date            : 2011-08-19

   Adding new RRTYPEs to the DNS requires that DNS servers and
   provisioning software be upgraded to support each new RRTYPE in
   Master files.  This document defines a DNS extension language
   intended to allow most new RRTYPEs to be supported by adding a line
   to a configuration file read by the DNS software, with no changed
   software.

Compression will NEVER happen with new records.

What I do worry about this is that it will artificially limit new
RR's to formats that can be expressed in this language.  Also this
doesn't have to be formalised.  ISC's DHCP, for example, supports
the defining new DHCP options in the DHCP server and client
configurations.  The older definition language doesn't support DNS
encoding of domain names or AAAA addresses but I believe the newer
one does.

You will also need stuff like I2[LEN(F1),B] (2 byte int, length of
field(#), not printed(B)). For this to be useful you need to be
describing presentation to wire and some wire fields don't exist
in the presentation.

Not at all. No one has to make their records work with the new language: =
they can expect domain admins to still do hex-stuffing like they do =
today.

Correct. Formalization is very useful, but not required. Sometimes work =
in the DNSEXT WG is meant to be very useful even if not required.

I know.  I put it in there to give people the option of describing 
some existing records the same way as new ones.

I suppose, but opposed to the current situation of no new RRs at all 
unless people are incredibly desperate (DNSSEC), it doesn't seem like a 
bad tradeoff.  If you think there are other field types that are likely to 
be popular enough to be worth describing, I'm not opposed to that.  It 
also occurred to me that if this limits people's desire to add random hard 
to describe new field types, that wouldn't necessarily be bad.

>  Also this doesn't have to be formalised.

Of course it does.  The whole point is to be able to distribute 
descriptions of new RRTYPEs and have some hope that large numbers of 
servers and provisioning systems can use them.

> You will also need stuff like I2[LEN(F1),B] (2 byte int, length of

Ewww.  I can see that you might want to insert fixed fields (although that 
strikes me as an admission that the RRTYPE is poorly designed), but I 
really don't see it as desirable to encourage people to invent new fields 
that are so big you can't encode the length in one byte.

Or one could say the it is a design flaw in how the TLD operators
generate the deltas.  Compression of delta is optional and the
consequences of doing so were well documented.  The TLD operators
wrote software that only compressed deltas then configured the
servers exactly as they were warned not to do if they compressed
deltas.

If one ignores changes to the SOA record, how may bytes do TLD
operators actually save by compressing deltas?  (2 SOA records cost
2 * (2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 5 * 4) = 72 bytes as compression
pointers can almost always be used).  I realise there is extra work
to extract all the deltas rather than just the compressed delta
from the database.

If one saves the last hour (day?) of serials (so you have a precomputed
list of recent change sets to extract from the database) how much
extra work is it really to extract uncompressed deltas?  How far
behind do the distribution masters typically get (time and deltas)?

The consequences can be avoided, if the result of compression is
consistent between servers. For example, if the compression is done
only on the primary server and only for deltas between two
consecutive XFRs.

But, as journal corruption is mentioned, there should be a lot
more severe operational errors involved, I guess.

There are other circumstance which can result in unwanted full zone
transfer.

Consider an environment where one has 2 distribution servers at a node,
which act as slaves to off-site server. These distribution servers act
as masters to any number of local slaves on site.

If the node suffers a power failure, then it is quite possible that both
distribution servers will need a full AXFR when they restart. If zone
updates are frequent, there is a good chance that they will not have the
exact same starting serial.

All of the local slaves will need to do a full zone transfer when they
start or soon after, getting the data from the first distribution server
to complete the AXFR. At the first zone update, then on average half of
them will need to get the entire zone contents again, because they will
try a distribution master that does not have the same starting serial.

For small zones this is not a big problem, but for large zones this can
result in several minutes of delay before zones get updated - at a
difficult time operationally. ("Yes, the node is up - it'll be a few
more minutes before we can put it back online...")

One solution is to have a single distribution server. However, this
introduces a single point of failure into the design. It may also be
possible to use some sort of high-availability setup to avoid this
problem. A better solution would be for something like IXFR-only.

There are probably other failure scenarios. My point is that there are
cases other than compressed deltas that would benefit from IXFR-only.

Forced fallback to full zone transfer is not a crucial operational
problem or it would have been solved already. But it is a problem - or
as Ondrej calls it a design flaw - and not too difficult to fix.

Are you seriously saying that it is quite possible that two servers
simultaneously loss checkpointing information because of power
failure?

Even then, there is no point of IXFR-only because, with your example,
neither server can offer IXFR.

It's no solution. I'm afraid you completely misunderstand DNS.

No.  I think Shane means that they have been out of contact long
enough that the AXFR style response is smaller than the IXFR style
response and the upstream supplied a AXFR style response.

You are missing Shanes point, which is that after the initial AXFR
style response that the slaves that transferred from the DM that
transfered first, and hence had a lower serial, will not be able
to get a delta style response from the other DM.

Shane isn't saying that it is a desirable solution.
 
The other solution is to prevent the axfr's out from the DM's until they
both have the same serials available ixfr from.

The is not to say that I'm apposed to ixfr only.

So, it's not two distribution servers but their clients, which
fail?

It's not a problem, as long as the distribution servers are
synchronized.

But, as Shane said "both distribution servers will need a full
AXFR when they restart", he seemingly assumes failures of
distribution servers, I'm afraid.

Anyway,

Are you saying two distribution servers (never introduce new
terminology such as DM only to amplify the confusion) do not
have the same history of a zone?

How can it happen without severe operational errors?

Note that you don't assume failure of distribution servers.

I'm afraid both Shane and you have confused ideas on the configuration
of DNS servers, partially because of improper terminologies.

So DNSSEC introduces a new dependency - the availability of accurate time.
Mnay of the existant tools programatically encode start/stop times for things
like signature validity, packet replay attacks, etc.  To a large degree, at least
in my experience, we tend to use UTC as a baseline.

and now, There is a plan to fundamentally change the calulations of UTC.

This will have pretty much no effect on DNSSEC AFAIK:  Everything is =
synced by NTP or GPS to UTC (NOT UT1, earth rotational time), and the =
presence or absence of leap seconds should not come into play one way or =
the other, since all validators need accurate time syncing anyway.

However, the worry I have is that this makes the UTC -> Local Time =
calculation screwy: after about what would be 60 leap-seconds, there =
will be pressure to change the definition of local timezones in bigger =
leaps.

Dear authors of draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-00:

The site http://www.afasterinternet.com came to our attention.

It appears to us that you are undertaking a trial deployment of
draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-00, and that you are soliciting
people to participate in the client portion of this trial.  We think
this is, in effect, a limited public trial on the public Internet.

We would like to urge you, very strongly, to obtain an actual EDNS0
option code assignment from IANA prior to proceeding with this trial.
By failing to obtain such a code, and by releasing your software to
the Internet, you are potentially polluting the EDNS0 option code
space.

We are aware of the obstacles to obtaining such an option code, but we
believe that the benefits of a faster Internet, which you are avowedly
attempting to deliver, will only really be benefits if they don't
break others' software, either now or in the future.  By using a
completely unassigned option code, as you must be doing, you are
risking colliding with another assignment.

In order to obtain the option code, all that is needed is an RFC to be
published.  We stand ready and willing to help you pursue that
publication, particularly since you intend your protocol to be
experimental.  

Best regards,

Andrew and Olafur
(co-chairs of the DNSEXT working group, but speaking only for ourselves.)

So what? However UTC is calculated, it'll still be UTC. The world will  
still use it for broadcasting timestamps, driving NTP servers, doing  
navigation, etc.

IIUC the ITU-R proposal is to stop adding leap seconds to UTC so that  
it's always within a second of International Atomic Time which pretty  
much only matters to rocket scientists and astronomers who need to  
care about variations in the rotation of the earth. I wonder though  
what motivated this proposed change...

Indeed. Even if a drift between UTC and IAT mattered for DNSSEC, it  
seems unlikely anyone would (need to) use RRSIG validity intervals as  
low as a few seconds.

Maybe. Or maybe in a few decades leap seconds would come back into  
fashion again. With a leap second typically getting added once every  
18 months or so, it'll be our grandchildren who might have to worry  
about a 60 second drift between UTC and IAT Nicholas. :-)

It's not clear if this ITU-R proposal will be accepted either and if  
it is, it won't be implemented until 2017. So, nothing to see here,  
move along...

Replying to my own posting? Hmmmm....

I smell an April 1st RFC. DNSSEC-quad with picosecond resolution

Well, obviously it is as this proposal never dies. It was brought up a =
few years ago, and people said clearly "no". Now people ask for this =
again.

Yes, UTC will be UTC all the time, but why should UTC not be related to =
earth rotations anymore? In a few years, the sun will not be in the =
south at noon etc if we drop leap seconds. Sure, the value of "few" is =
large, but still.

My view: "just say no".

But as Jim said, for DNSSEC, we will still use UTC regardless of whether =
it is tied to earth rotations or not.

No. Local time has a slop on the order of an hour - look at a time zone
map and see how much the land boundaries deviate from 7.5 + n * 15
degrees. The abolition of leap seconds would have no practical effect on
time zones until centuries in the future.

The proposal has been working its way through the ITU-R processes for over
ten years. There has been no clear consensus either way, so it keeps
getting passed up to the next highest committee meeting. The final
decision will be next year at the world radiocommunication congress, which
is the international treaty agreement meeting of the ITU-R. Being the most
senior decision making body it cannot punt :-)

This is utterly irrelevant to DNSSEC because whatever happens DNSSEC's
idea of time will be civil time, and DNSSEC's accuracy requirements are
very relaxed.

It's not really a public trial on the public Internet. It's merely a
group of open resolvers and a few CDNs who all implemented support for
edns-client-subnet in their systems and start to use it amongst just
each other. The resolvers use a whitelist to make sure the option only
goes to nameservers that expect it.

Our goal here, speaking as the authors of the I-D, is to get some
real-world numbers on how effective edns-client-subnet really is.
Unfortunately my memories of our conversation at IETF78 (Maastricht)
are pretty vague by now, but IIRC there was some interest for these
numbers.

Unfortunately we got sidetracked by our day jobs and didn't have much
time to work on this data or the I-D in general - but do intend to
allocate more time for it over the next months.

I fully agree. By picking 0x50fa instead of a lower value (it looks
like so far EDNS0 options are assigned sequentially) we certainly
tried to avoid any problems of this kind. Our plan was to use this
temporary option code just to gather data, and with that and a
published experimental RFC, get an official number from IANA. Not at
any time did we intend to sidestep the IETF process. Apologies if we
gave that impression.

Our latest I-D <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-00>
has just expired and we have no updates to it. Also there has been
very little (none, from what I can remember) discussion on dnsext
about it. We welcome any help you can offer to make this I-D suitable
for publication on the experimental track.


Kind regards,


Wilmer van der Gaast,
Carlo Contavalli.

Is this substantially different from draft-vandergast-client-ip-01 which
had 239 messages on it? Hardly no discussion. I suspect the reason why
there has been no discussion of draft-vandergast-client-subnet-00 is
because it hasn't (at least according to my archive) ever been announced
on dnsext.

Hi Wilmer,

Thanks for your reply.  A couple remarks below.  I have not passed
this by Olafur, and as before, I am _not_ speaking in any official
capacity.

On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 10:10:01PM +0100, Wilmer van der Gaast wrote:

When you initially suggested you wanted to do some experiments, I took
that to mean that you were going to do some things in a lab.  Because
of the way EDNS0 code points are assigned, I recognized that it would
likely be better if you did things in your lab beforehand.  That was
why I told you that, while it would probably be a little tricky to get
a code point at that early stage, if you ran an experiment with some
code that used a code point clearly not about to be allocated, it was
probably safe enough for those purposes.

What the pages I already cited say, however, is not that you're doing
something in a lab, but that you're doing it on the Internet --
between consenting adults, sure, but on the public Internet
nevertheless.

By using an unassigned code point this way, you run two risks:

    1.  Some of the client code that gets used for this hangs around,
    and continues to set that EDNS0 option.  If the option code point
    gets assigned later, and to something else, you end up setting an
    option that doesn't do what you think it does (and you don't
    behave as a server receiving such an option would expect you to).

    2.  Some server code that gets used for this test hangs around,
    and continues to respond to that EDNS0 option.  This is basically
    the complement of the above case.  It's just as bad.

I actually don't care about the IETF process.  What I do care about is
the potential for interoperability headaches later because of
undocumented collisions in EDNS0 option code interpretation.  Avoiding
that sort of headache is the exact reason we have a registry.  

Best regards,

A

How would you feel about proposing more relaxed registry criteria to
IANA (by way of an RFC), similar to how the ports registry works?

EDNS0 option codes don't appear to be in much demand, so exhaustion
isn't as much of a concern.

I suggested in April 2010 that part of the EDNS0 option code space be
reserved for private use, but it received very little feedback
(positive response from Colm MacC=E1rthaigh, slightly negative from Paul
Vixie, and some meta discussion about how strictly IANA follows its
instructions on allocating numbers):

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg07768.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dempsky-edns0-options-for-private-use-00

Reserving a code point for public (i.e., general, unnegotiated) use
doesn't make sense until the protocol has solidified.  For a private
test (even a large scale one conducted across the Internet between
multiple organizations), it seems appropriate to use a private use
code so long as the participants have agreed a priori what the code
means in transactions between their DNS servers.

I don't see anything wrong with (e.g.) privately negotiating to use
65300 to mean draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-00 when querying
Google's DNS servers but to then mean draft-xxx-something-else when
querying someone else's.

A process comparable to the one for RRtype code assignment could take =20=

care of this. The expert review would provide a sanity check and rate =20=

limiter in case we started burning through EDNS option codes. What if =20=

marketroids were to decide these are more valuable for vanity purposes =20=

than new gTLDs?

It's a pity RFC6195 didn't ring-fence some of the EDNS OPT code (and =20
Extended RCODE?) number space for private use and/or experiments just =20=

like it did for the RRtype, CLASS and RCODE spaces.

You are running a trial over the Internet.  Someone out there will 
think that it is a good idea and write some code for it.  Such code 
generally lingers around for some time.

The above qualifies as an experiment and there was a time when it was 
documented through an Experimental RFC.  The code point was part of 
the book-keeping, i.e. the person is going to run the experiment no 
matter what and it is better to have a record of that code point 
being in use.  The number from IANA does not mean that the experiment 
or even proposed standard specification is a good idea.

Assuming that the assignment of code points is always sequential 
encourages "counter-measures" such as non-sequential assignments to 
make life difficult for people who make such assumptions.  There was 
a time when conventional wisdom was that the world would not run out 
of 32-bit numbers.  Some people looked at the way the assignments 
were made and decided that 1.1.1.1 could be used safely.

If it takes an Experimental RFC (published) to get that number, it is 
up to the IETF to see it wants to make it difficult for you to get 
it.  I doubt that people would refrain from using the technology if 
it makes an "Internet" faster.

Regards,
-sm

In my personal, no-hat opinion, the registry rule could be made
first-come, first-served until (say) 50% of the code space was used
up.  I see no reason not to do this.

The current edns0-bis draft actually moves things in the opposite
direction: whereas now the rule is RFC Required, the current draft
makes things Standards Action.  In my opinion (again no hat), this is
the wrong direction to be moving.

Right.  And we could solve that worry by making the relaxed rule
automatically tighten after a certain number of the codes are gone
anyway, just the way we did for the DNSSEC algorithm numbers.

There's always a registration path similar to ENUMservices, a la RFC 6117.
This allows for both an RFC-published path and non-RFC path to
registration. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6117

Which draft are you reading here exactly? It's entirely possible that
I'm misreading, but
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc2671bis-edns0-05#section-9
seems to say Standards Action is required for:

* new RCODEs
* new EDNS0 flags
* new EDNSx versions

For a new option code, only expert review will be required: "Expert
Review is required for allocation of an EDNS Option Code."

I'm also definitely in favour of the private-range idea. If for
example 0xff00-0xff7f could be reserved for experiments, I'll happily
get everyone on the edns-client-subnet experiment to switch. I'm even
willing to leave out backward compatibility on our end to encourage
switching ASAP. :-)

Hello Jaidev,

2011/8/31 Jaidev Sridhar <mail@jaidev.info>:

> Reading through the draft, I have a question about the NAT section which

I just realised, after looking through our revision history, that we
haven't made any changes to the NAT section since edns-client-ip-00
(i.e. January 2010). Since then we have made some changes to
transitive behaviour so there are definitely some contradictions to be
found here.

The original purpose of the section was to sum up some things that may
seem clever but should not be done.

I think the original idea here was "the recursive resolver will, if it
wants, add an edns-client-subnet option using the source IP it sees"
-=3D> there should be no need for a NAT device to do it, and generally I
do still think a NAT device shouldn't try to be smarter than
necessary.

See the explanation above. Thank you for your reminder here, not
updating the NAt section at all was definitely an oversight, we'll
rewrite it for edns-client-subnet-01.

The big-bad-NAT use case is also not a scenario we thought of so far.
It's also a pretty hard one to support without putting a lot of
additional intelligence into resolvers (i.e. a mapping of internal IP
addresses to their external equivalents). I'd like to know if any
implementor is actually willing to implement that.

Oh, phew, and stupid me.  I was really really surprised when I
(thought I) saw what I did when I checked it earlier.  That'll teach
me to do such readings in a hurry.

You're quite right.  And (again no hat) expert review is, IMO, better
than RFC required, but I'd still prefer FCFS.

Agreed.

However, we're still quoting an I-D here and not an RFC. I assume we
need this draft published before the policy can be followed. (But
please do correct me if I'm wrong.) From the last discussion about it
(May 2011) it looks to me like the author is still working on a -06 so
we're not there yet.

Which means that for now edns-client-subnet needs to be published as
an experimental RFC, which I assume can't be done in just a few
weeks.. We really would like to proceed with the experiment because we
need to collect data to decide if edns-client-subnet is worth
implementing. This can't be done in a closed lab.

By the way, I noticed not all EDNS0 option codes on
http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters have RFC numbers behind
them. Under what condition were these option codes assigned, and would
it be possible to assign one to edns-client-subnet under similar
conditions?

I think FCFS works fine for unbounded spaces, but I'm nervous about
a blended model where there are easy registrations up until exhaustion
looks likely, then
it gets restricted.  We have lots of evidence that this causes grumpiness
in the IP allocation side of the house. Expert review, with clear
instructions to reviewer
(e.g. that this is not duplicate functionality) seems more likely to
get what you want.

The trick is in the clear instructions to the reviewer, especially
when the reviewer
is actually a list with changing membership....

As a question to the chairs, the new draft is kind enough to list the
changes since the previous version, and one of the authors previously
summarized this to the list as:

* Rewrote origination sections to clarify that normally only recursive
resolvers generate edns-client-subnet options.
* Discussion on whitelisting or automatically detecting if an
authority supports edns-client-subnet.
* More precisely specifying (optional) transitive behaviour.
* Minor revisions to improve clarity and correctness w.r.t. other RFCs.

None of these changes seem to address the balance of discussion of the
previous two versions.  Do the chairs intend to open this for full discussi=
on
again, or is it your opinion that the code point allocation in an Experimen=
tal
RFC does not need to address these issues?

Ted Hardie

Probably not a few weeks, no.

Yes.  I have no idea how those were assigned, but when I asked IANA
about it they said they have to follow the rule.  Perhaps previous
IANA administration had a different approach or something; I don't
know.

Olafur and I consulted over this, and here is our opinion as chairs.
Note that we've been wrong before.

As a pure matter of the rules, it is our opinion that the code point
allocation does not need to address any objections to the idea.  The
rule is only "RFC Required".  An Experimental track RFC is an RFC, and
therefore it would qualify.  One might take issue with the experiment
itself, and one might take issue with what the experiment is
attempting to prove, but none of that would be reason to refuse to
publish the RFC nor to deny the allocation of a code point.

So, any RFC will do.  Even an RFC that simply says, "IANA
considerations: IANA allocate EDNS0 option NETMASK code TBD.  The
option is a text string of one of the following formats:
'IP4_addr/mask' or 'IPv6_addr/mask'", along with perhaps a section
that says by way of introduction, "This document specifies the NETMASK
EDNS0 option, but does not specify its use."

Taking my hat off, I note that, if this opinion is correct, RFC
Required appears to become a lower bar than Expert Review.  I am not
sure that the IESG would agree with our interpretation, therefore.

Traditionally expert review has been a lower bar than RFC required
because you have to convince someone that it's a good idea to publish
the RFC (The independent stream editor, some working group, some AD).
That's not been trivial, and it usual comes with questions about the
track.  An experimental RFC, for example, might be tasked with
describing the experiment and what results would constitute success.
I can't really see the internet-draft text you cite above passing IETF
last call without a few questions.  We have seen some docs where the
registration document is recognition of a de facto use that is being
codified to avoid collision, but even those describe what's going on.
Doing that too often with code points that aren't unlimited has, of
course, obvious failure conditions.

You and Olafur previously said (as individuals)  "We stand ready and
willing to help
you pursue that publication, particularly since you intend your
protocol to be experimental.".
Since this was evidently not through the working group, did you intend
AD sponsorship or an
independent stream submission?

Right.

I can't speak for Olafur, but I am prepared to do whatever the authors
want.  To my mind, it is considerably more valuable that we have
stable documentation of the use of this option code than it is that we
do things in this or that way.  To me, if the experiment goes ahead as
is currently planned, we have to mark the option code as used anyway.

Wrong.

NAT, in this case, is only as bad as a DHCP server with a large
number of clients, addresses of which are assigned randomly
and dynamically.

It is dynamic assignment of addresses or addresses and port
numbers which makes geo-location (and address based black
listing) not very useful.

NAT with fixed port forwarding is fine, as long as geo-location
is based on not only addresses but also port numbers.

The problem of NAT against client-subnet option is that DNS
messages with strange options may be destroyed on some
implementations of NAT.

Concentrating on the practical results of our deliberations rather than the
way we got there, and speaking as someone who is sceptical about the draft
in question, it seems to me that it would be a bad thing if a draft like
this (which whilst I might not like it, is certainly not entirely
speculative) neither can get a RFC1918-style allocation, nor relatively
easily achieve a 'proper' allocation; it's only going to encourage people
to self-allocate, and we are hardly short of code points.

Given there has to be some hurdle to getting a real allocation, I think
we should do both - assigning 256 code points to RFC1918-style use (i.e.
'beware - your number may clash with other RFC1918-style stuff but won't
clash with a real allocation') seems to me a no-brainer.
