In Section 4:

  "Intermediate proxies [RFC5625] that understand DNS are RECOMMENDED to
   behave like a comparable recursive resolver when dealing with the
   DAU, DHU and N3U options."

I suggest referencing the appropriate section in the document to make

Ok - that's easy enough.  It's in Sec. 4.4.2 (of RFC 5625).

Skeleton would be like this:

Rationale:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Current DNS IN class schemene intends to trace between a tree-like structur=
e=20
(the domain names, rooted at . ) and a linear structure (the IP addresses,=
=20
between 0.0.0.0 and 2555.255.255.255 ) . It has been extended to include IP=
v6=20
addresses, but these are a linear structure too (from :: to=20
=46FFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF ) . IN class also includes an inv=
erse=20
resolution (from linear IP to tree-like Domain Names) which is a tweak whic=
h=20
really resolves between IP-like Domain Names and real Domain Names and also=
=20
does not address fully issues like IP delegation in non-8bit boundaries (Se=
e=20
RFC 2317 ) .
OID, instead, is a tree-like structure on its own, with (currently) three=20
roots (0, 1 and 2) which can be super-rooted at . so this "skeleton proposa=
l"=20
intends to draw a way to map from tree-like structure to tree-like structur=
e,=20
fully forward and backwards, including also extra information that may be=20
deemed useful.
Also, this proposal allows OID owners to publicily state about canonical=20
hostnames where information about their OIDs (or the organizations holding=
=20
them) can be found.

8<-----------------------------------------------------------

This "skeleton proposal" uses class name OID throught it.

Notes:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Names and numbers are displayed from root to leaf, unlike in DNS IN class.

Resource Record Types:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

SOA: Similar to that of IN class, there will be two SOA registers to mainta=
in,=20
one for number-name conversion and one for name-number.

OID: Similar to A or AAAA of IN class, will be used only for name-number=20
conversion.

NAME: Similar to PTR of IN class, will be used only for number-name=20
conversion.

NS: Equivalent to that of IN class, will point to oid-capable nameservers=20
which hold thata for the current zone, being this either number->name or na=
me-
>number.

DNS: Available in number->name zone only (they can be reached from a name i=
f=20
you perform a name->number search first and an A search afterwards). They=20
point to the canonical IN DNS hostname for the OID, however it is defined b=
y=20
OID owner.

TXT: These are available in name->number zone only (they can be reached fro=
m a=20
number if you perform a number->name search first and a TXT search=20
afterwards). They can include whichever information OID ownser deems=20
necessary, much like IN class TXT records.

EQUIV: These are available in both zone types, and are similar to IN class=
=20
CNAME. It indicates that all searches that may be conducted after one OID=20
number or name are to be conducted after another OID number or name instead=
=2E=20
No mixture of numbers and names allowed. This RR specifically claims that=20
subtrees under the two OIDs are exactly equal.

Example resource records:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

;--------------

Recursive search:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Due to exact tree-to-tree mapping, and to avoid long strings like=20
".iso.identified-organization.dod.internet.private.enterprise.rolamasao-org=
"=20
it is allowed to make short references like these:

INSTEAD OF
@ OID OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.41434
IT IS ALLOWED
@ OID OID 41434

INSTEAD OF
@ OID NAME .iso.identified-
organization.dod.internet.private.enterprise.rolamasao-org
IT IS ALLOWED
@ OID NAME rolamasao-org

These not-starting-with-dot records will force recursive search.

Root of the trees:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Nominally the root of both trees will be . but all clients should know that=
=20
the real roots are 0. 1. and 2. for numbers and itu-t. iso. and joint-iso-i=
tu-
t. for names.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts director=

 This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Signaling Cryptographic Algorithm Understanding in DNSSEC
	Author(s)       : Steve Crocker
                          Scott Rose
	Filename        : draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-signal-10.txt

Abstract:
   The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) were developed to provide origin
   authentication and integrity protection for DNS data by using digital
   signatures.  These digital signatures can be generated using
   different algorithms.  This draft sets out to specify a way for
   validating end-system resolvers to signal to a server which digital
   signature and hash algorithms they support.  The proposed extensions
   allow the signaling of new algorithm uptake in client code to allow
   zone administrators to know when it is possible to complete an
   algorithm rollover in a DNSSEC signed zone.

FYI,
Changes include:

1. giving a section ref for Intermediate DNS entities (i.e. proxies, =
etc.)=20

2. Added text to explicitly say that authoritative servers (and =
recursive resolvers) MUST NOT set the algo-signal options in responses.  =
Likewise, clients MUST ignore the options if they see them in responses.

3. Authoritative servers (or any other stat gathering system) MAY ignore =
any algo-signal option values that are out of range or RESERVED values.

Let's try this again.

I understood what Joel was asking.  I objected to bringing this to last call.

You asked where in RFC6195 that there was grounds to object.

I pointed out section 3.1.2, items 1, 4 and 5 apply as short hand for the following:


Although the allocation template says that the code points were assigned by expert review, its unclear they followed the criteria required by 6145.  Given the lack of details, I don't see how an expert could say:

(1) that the documentation was complete enough to evaluate.

(4) that the document was complete enough to describe any other interactions with DNS - for example publishing the DNS name to IP mapping as part of a DHCP IP address assignment process for the MAC address.

and (5) that give the lack of 1 and 4, and the short shrift to "well, we could do it in the text record, but we'd rather not" that it's unclear why this is a global assignment rather than a private one.


If this makes it through in the current condition, I would suggest that I could submit a document based on the current document where EUi48 is changed to "breakfast cereal UPC codes" and EUI64 is changed to "Book ISBN codes" with fairly minimal text changes that would ALSO make it through.  And that would be bad.


Hmm.. I went back to the DNSEXT mailing list and I can't seem to find the 6145 mandated application and experts assignment message on the list or in the archives:

I pointed out section 3.1.2, items 1, 4 and 5 apply as short hand for the
following:<br><br>
<br>
Although the allocation template says that the code points were assigned
by expert review, its unclear they followed the criteria required by
6145.&nbsp; Given the lack of details, I don't see how an expert could
say:<br><br>
(1) that the documentation was complete enough to evaluate.<br><br>
(4) that the document was complete enough to describe any other
interactions with DNS - for example publishing the DNS name to IP mapping
as part of a DHCP IP address assignment process for the MAC
address.<br><br>
and (5) that give the lack of 1 and 4, and the short shrift to
&quot;well, we could do it in the text record, but we'd rather not&quot;
that it's unclear why this is a global assignment rather than a private
one.<br><br>
<br>
If this makes it through in the current condition, I would suggest that I
could submit a document based on the current document where EUi48 is
changed to &quot;breakfast cereal UPC codes&quot; and EUI64 is changed to
&quot;Book ISBN codes&quot; with fairly minimal text changes that would
ALSO make it through.&nbsp; And that would be bad.<br><br>
<br>
Hmm.. I went back to the DNSEXT mailing list and I can't seem to find the

RFC 6195 is not in effect. draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc6195bis-05 (RFC-to-be
6895) is in effect since it was approved last year. It's been held up
by a dependency but will presumably will pop out early next week since
it looks like the dependency has cleared.

As below, if the last call is blocked it might block documentation and
review but will have no effect on the code points.

They are not "criteria required". They are *guidelines* and the
overall policy, from RFC-to-be-6895 is "The Designated Expert should
normally be lenient, preferring to approve most requests."

As regards the allocation of the code points, it actually does not
make any difference what you think. The application was submitted. The
assigned expert has approved. (I am not a member of the expert pool.)
The code points (108 and 109) have been allocated and are in the
public RRTYPE registry as of, probably, a couple of week ago, and
since then anyone in the world has been free to use them:
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xml

It seems odd to restrict it breakfast cereal UPC codes, but having an
DNS RRTYPE for UPC code or ISBN number seems fine to me. Why would it
be bad to store such things in the DNS? It would provide a way to
securely associate such numbers with a DNS name.

See RFC-to-be-6895. Such a message has not been required since the
approval of RFC-to-be-6895 which is the result of years of effort to
defeat narrow-minded objections and real and perceived barriers to
getting new RRtypes for ordinary data (can be handled as an Unknown RR
as described in [RFC3597]). In my opinion, there is almost never a
reason to turn down such an RRTYPE request and the rapid approval of
this request is exactly what is supposed to happen.

I would like to thank the author for taking the step of proposing
publication of his draft as an RFC, something not required. This
provides an opportunity for review and, for example, possible
inclusion of usage guidance or the like.

Experience proves that the "you can't get a number without jumping
through hoops" mindset leads to lots of overloadings of TXT and people
just grabbing a random RRTYPE number and camping on it, which I think
is a worse than, say, allocating some RRTYPE numbers for some data
which turns out to be not so useful in the DNS.

Donald

"However, the Expert should usually reject any
   RRTYPE allocation request that meets one or more of the following
   criteria:"

is what follows the above.  I'd suggest that "SHOULD" here [my caps] sets the following items as criteria for evaluation, not guidelines.  The word "usually" muddies the water so maybe you could get by with calling them guidelines.  It's  splitting hairs in any case.

I used "breakfast cereal UPC codes" to describe an absurd case, but one that appears would be permitted without much review using pretty much the same boiler plate as the current document.

It would be really nice if there were actually a real-world reason to have such a mapping though before doing such an assignment.  I keep hoping for some sanity in DNS use, but it seems to be getting further and further distant.

But getting back to the current case - 

1) If you query the DNS for both an IP and a MAC address, and you get records for both, but the records don't point to the same physical host, what should you do, and how might you detect this?

2) If you query the DNS for MAC address records and you get multiple records for the same DNS name, what does that mean?

3) If you query the DNS for an IP and MAC address and only get a MAC address record, what does that mean?

4) If you query the DNS for an IP and a MAC, and then ARP for the MAC address and get a different value than the MACs from the DNS, what does that mean?



At least in the UPC and ISBN stuff I can mostly assume they don't refer to an internet connected device.  In the specific case, because the MAC address usually has some interaction with the IP address, and someone is bound to try and come up an application (e.g something besides ARP or DHCP) that cares about both simultaneously, it would REALLY be nice if the document at least set out the thoughts for why adding this type was a good idea, and possibly how to deal with some of the above issues.

Umm.. I realize you wrote the draft, but I'm surprised you forgot what it said:

You took out the requirement to publish the application for comments, but you did not take out the requirement to publish the approval.    I may have missed it, but I didn't see such a message from the assigned expert.

As regards the allocation of the code points, it actually does not<br>
make any difference what you think. The application was submitted.
The<br>
assigned expert has approved. (I am not a member of the expert
pool.)<br>
The code points (108 and 109) have been allocated and are in the<br>
public RRTYPE registry as of, probably, a couple of week ago, and<br>
since then anyone in the world has been free to use them:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;

&quot;Book ISBN codes&quot;<br>
&gt; with fairly minimal text changes that would ALSO make it
through.&nbsp; And that<br>
&gt; would be bad.<br><br>
It seems odd to restrict it breakfast cereal UPC codes, but having
an<br>
DNS RRTYPE for UPC code or ISBN number seems fine to me. Why would
it<br>
be bad to store such things in the DNS? It would provide a way to<br>
securely associate such numbers with a DNS name.</blockquote><br>
I used &quot;breakfast cereal UPC codes&quot; to describe an absurd case,
but one that appears would be permitted without much review using pretty
much the same boiler plate as the current document.<br><br>
It would be really nice if there were actually a real-world reason to
have such a mapping though before doing such an assignment.&nbsp; I keep
hoping for some sanity in DNS use, but it seems to be getting further and
further distant.<br><br>
But getting back to the current case - <br><br>
1) If you query the DNS for both an IP and a MAC address, and you get
records for both, but the records don't point to the same physical host,
what should you do, and how might you detect this?<br><br>
2) If you query the DNS for MAC address records and you get multiple
records for the same DNS name, what does that mean?<br><br>
3) If you query the DNS for an IP and MAC address and only get a MAC
address record, what does that mean?<br><br>
4) If you query the DNS for an IP and a MAC, and then ARP for the MAC
address and get a different value than the MACs from the DNS, what does
that mean?<br><br>
<br><br>
At least in the UPC and ISBN stuff I can mostly assume they don't refer
to an internet connected device.&nbsp; In the specific case, because the
MAC address usually has some interaction with the IP address, and someone
is bound to try and come up an application (e.g something besides ARP or
DHCP) that cares about both simultaneously, it would REALLY be nice if
the document at least set out the thoughts for why adding this type was a
good idea, and possibly how to deal with some of the above
issues.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">&gt; Hmm.. I went back to the

I don't think this is of zero value, and I think it's probably more useful than not to have a consistent way of representing EUI stuff in the DNS. 

BUT - this has some potential to interact badly with DNS to IP(4/6) mappings for the same name.  Although this is a straight data RR, it's semantics mean that an EUI RR directly represents an L2 capable device.  That places it much closer to A and AAAA records and suggests that some guidance on how to reconcile names that have both IP content and EUI content is desirable.  

It also suggests that there may need to be some text in the security section describing privacy issues where the DNS name points to both the mac and the ip  E.g. the mac is permanent, unique, and provides additional ways to identify specific users and relate identity to content.  For example, a web server may do an inverse lookup on the IP address, gets an innocuous cable provider DNS name, uses that to look up the EUI and adds that information to its back end database for tracking purposes.  Since that mac address never changes, the individual can be tracked even across DHCP updates, moving from one provider to another, etc.

As I said in a private message to Paul Hoffman, I mostly don't care about random RR assignments, but I think this one needs a bit more thought and explanatory text.

Hi,

I think there's an error in section 4.1 where it should say EUI64 but
actually says EUI48.

and +1 for the privacy concerned

I think you're right. Thanks for that! I will make changes.

> and +1 for the privacy concerned

Can you explain further? I don't understand those concerns.

This document provides a specification for a structured way of storing =
particular data in the DNS. It's not data that can't be stored today =
using more general RRTypes like TXT. It doesn't advocate publication of =
anything. What are the privacy concerns?

If there are concerns that people should take time to understand the =
privacy implications of publishing subscriber data in the DNS, then that =
seems entirely valid. But this is not a draft about publishing =
subscriber data in the DNS, it's a draft about implementing specific =
RRTypes.

If there is useful information for the IETF to publish about privacy =
considerations in the DNS, I don't understand why that should be =
specific to these particular RRTypes. Are similar privacy concerns not =
also applicable to the DNS in general?

I've seen people distribute password hashes and user identities in the =
DNS before, as a back-end to tacacs servers deployed to authenticate =
dial-up users. (OK, this is going back a bit.) Surely if there is advice =
to be given about the publication of subscriber data in the DNS we would =
want to talk about the general approach, and not specific RRTypes.

Would we caution people about storing MAC addresses in an EUI48 RR, but =
not bother to caution other people about storing the same data in TXT =
records?

etc, etc.

All of the above suffer from "pronoun trouble".

Who is "you", in each case above?

While DNS can be queried by humans, its main raison d'=EAtre is use by
machines.

So, what is doing the query/queries?

And presumably, it is doing so because of some standard for using DNS for
the relevant info.

And, the behavior would, I would expect, be defined by that
protocol/application, including how to handle the above cases.

Your questions might be turned around, and ask the question:
- what protocol would be doing queries for both (A or AAAA) and (EUI-48 or
EUI-64)?
- what protocol would be doing queries for just (EUI-48 or EUI-64)?

And each question's answer might quite reasonably differ, based on the
application/protocol doing the queries.

Examples for IP+MAC might include:
- DHCP servers
- IPS/IDS/Firewall systems
- enhanced ACLs on servers
- anything doing static ARP
- anything doing reverse-arp

Similarly, what kinds of things might be involved in setting EUI-48/EUI-64
records?
- dynamic update related to wifi (authenticated registration)
- layer 2 protection schemes (especially for IPv6 vs ND/RA/etc)
- zeroconf (multicast DNS), and perhaps mdnsext

I'd humbly suggest that the variety of potential use cases already meets
the "need" you have articulated.

Having defined RRTypes is an enable for all of the above.

Brian

Subject:     [dnsext] Fwd: New Version Notification for 
draft-jabley-dnsext-eui48-eui64-rrtypes-00.txt
Date:     Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:33:04 -0400
From:     Joe Abley <jabley@hopcount.ca>
To:     dnsext@ietf.org Group <dnsext@ietf.org>

Hi all,

During a conversation about an attempt to stuff IP and subscriber MAC 
addresses into the DNS (something that is happening operationally in 
Canada, related to wholesale cable internet service) I noticed that 
there is currently no clean way to represent ethernet MAC addresses. 
People are either using TXT records, or encoding MAC addresses into PTR 
RDATA, and it's all a bit messy.

Assuming that this is not the last time that someone will find a reason 
to encode layer-2 addresses in the DNS, I thought it worthwhile to 
define a cleaner option.

The draft referenced below defines two new RRTypes, EUI48 (for EUI-48 
addresses, which is what prompted this line of thinking) and EUI64 (for 
EUI-64 addresses, since it seems silly to accommodate one without the 
other).

The wire format is pretty trivial (network byte order, simple octet 
string), the RRTypes chosen are unremarkable (not sure what else you'd 
call an EUI-48 address RRType than EUI48) and the presentation format 
should be familiar. The examples given use the ethernet address of the 
wireless adapter on my laptop and its EUI-64 mapping, for lack of any 
documentation OUI that I could find. The IEEE references are consistent 
with the references for EUI-64 in IPv6, e.g. in RFC 4291. The expert 
review template for the RRType application is included as an appendix.

In the event that this proposal doesn't meet with projectile heartburn, 
I would hope that this could be adopted, discussed, refined and 
last-called before the demise of dnsext. Alternatively, assuming again 
that the expert review raises no concerns and code points are assigned, 
it could proceed as an individual-track submission.

Comments welcome.


Joe

The scope in which such a mapping is useful is clearly fairly limited, I 
imagine there are provisioning/subscriber managment systems that would 
adopt such a representation, but  I imagine the author has a more 
specifc example.

I have heard some musings from DHCP software vendors about whether the ability to publish such a mapping using DNS UPDATE directly from the DHCP servers would be useful. That suggests to me that such vendors (who presumably are familiar with their customers) think there are people who would like to use it.

Personally I would like to see a more well-defined use case for this 
before RRtypes are actually assigned. It's not at all clear why the 
right answer isn't a common definition of how to do this in a TXT 
record. Not everything needs (or should have) it's own RRtype.

It's also not clear why IANA has already assigned code points for this

Indeed.

The "just make everything a TXT record" mindset is nuts. How is an =
application making a QTYPE=3DTXT query expected to make sense of =
possibly zillions of TXT records in the response, filtering the wheat =
from the chaff? What's the operational impact of that? Going further =

In other words, we're done. The type codes have been assigned. That ship =
has already sailed.

An RFC documenting these RRTypes and how they're used is to be welcomed. =
After all that draft didn't *have* to be written. Further discussion on =
this thread should be about improving that document. For instance by =
contributing text to explain the potential for unwelcome interactions =
with A/AAAA/PTR mappings for the same name that Mike mentioned the other =
day.

The question of "why not do this in a TXT record?" has already been =
satisfactorily answered and IMO is no longer up for debate.

Don't be absurd. You're smart enough to know the difference between 
something that is widely or near-universally deployed, and something 
that is a special case for a limited number of environments; and the 
relative value of exhausting a scarce resource for each.

Or is your argument that everyone who applies should get an RR code 
point, until they're all gone?

FWIW, we did something similar when I was at Yahoo!, and I know from 
experience that TXT works just fine for this purpose. As I said in my 
first message, I am not opposed to assigning RRtypes for this per se, 
but I don't think that the use case is well enough documented to justify 
it yet.

Fair enough. I'm not as familiar with the fine points of the procedure 
as I used to be. :)

Anyone still suggesting use of TXT, please read RFC 5507
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5507), which answers this in a canonical
fashion.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. For things that are going to be 
generally useful I have no argument with assigning an RRtype (as I've 
said many times now).

But the mere fact that something is in an RFC doesn't mean that I have 
to agree with it carte blanche, does it? Not to mention that 5707 is 
Informational, so by definition non-canonical. :)

I certainly don't think we should be turning down RRType applications on the=
 grounds that one day we might possibly run out of code points. By that logi=
c, we'd never assign any at all.

Fortunately, the question at hand is not whether you think assignment is a g=
ood idea (code points have already been assigned) or whether this is somethi=
ng you would ever use (feel free not to). The question is whether the docume=
nt provides reasonable documentation that could facilitate implementation an=
d interop. Do you have any opinions on that?

I had no idea Yahoo! was involved with implementing CRTC policy decades befo=

Noted, but your opinion (or anybody else's) on these assignments is not actu=
ally relevant here.

Suggested paragraphs for the security section.

[ PRIVACY: 
There may be privacy concerns with publishing EUI RRs.  EUI64 and EUI48 represent unique identifiers for network connected equipment.  As such, their inclusion within the DNS may result in privacy issues in the form of unique trackable identities.  Unlike the IP addresses and DNS names for network devices which can and do change over time, the EUI information will almost always uniquely identify a device (or more specifically, a network interface).  As an example of this, consider a wireless provider that publishes EUI information for its subscribers.  An entity that wants to relate web queries, for example, to a specific customer need only do a reverse query from the IP address to a DNS name, and then a forward query for the EUI information.  The tracking entity may relate all queries to specific unique identities regardless of changes in IP addresses and DNS names resulting in a possible loss of privacy for the subscriber. 

Transitive Trust:

DNSSEC allows the binding of a name to one or more RR's.  It is possible to use DNSSEC to bind both A/AAAA records and EUI64/48 records to the same name.  This should probably not be consider as a secure binding between an IP address and an EUI64/48 address.  {Not sure where this should go - this gets perilously close to secure ARP and placing this in the hands of the domain owner rather than the hands of the network owner is probably a "bad thing" }


Paragraph for the main body:

[
EUI64 and EUI48 addresses represent another way of referencing a network connected host past IP addresses and DNS names.  Any system which deploys EUI64 and EUI48 RR's should consider how to maintain consistency between the various systems which may be involved in such mapping.  Specifically, DNS, DHCP, and ARP.   Any application that desires to make use of EUI64 and EUI48 RR's for any other use beyond simple data storage should consider how to resolve at least the following possible inconsistencies in data in the DNS and local network information:

1)  A mismatch for the same name where the device referenced by the A and AAAA records do not represent the same device as those referenced by the EUI64 and EUI48 RRs.  (E.g. the ARP response for a local IP address does not yield one of the values in an EUI64 or EUI48 RR).

2) A query for a specific name which returns multiple EUI64 and EUI48 records. 

3) A query for a specific name which returns only EUI64 and EUI48 records and does not return either of A or AAAA records.

I'm not entirely sure what problems you are anticipating, here. Can you =

I'll say again that the allocation of code-points to EUI48/EUI64 RRs =

This seems unnecessary to me. Is there anything currently implying

IPv4 and v6 addresses are known to move around.  I believe there is sufficient documentation to describe what happens if you get the A and AAAA records not referring to the same physical machine (but they generally do refer to the same logical machine - not always, but usually).  What the above says is that there isn't documentation for the interaction between A, AAAA and EUI records and there probably needs to be.

The EUI records are unique identifiers.  My assumption - without any text saying otherwise - is that if I get records with both IP addresses and EUI values that the intent of the domain operator was to convey a relationship between the two.

The current document is silent on this intent.  It should not be.

If this record were just point to random strings of data (e.g. UUIDs for example) that don't have a network related identity, I wouldn't care.  But it is EUI48 and 64 addresses that really do have a related network ID.  It would be nice if we told applications how to deal with cognitive dissonance of this form.

As such, their inclusion within the DNS may result in privacy issues in the form of unique trackable identities.  Unlike the IP addresses and DNS names for network devices which can and do change over time, the EUI information will almost always uniquely identify a device (or more specifically, a network interface).  As an example of this, consider a wireless provider that publishes EUI information for its subscribers.  An entity that wants to relate web queries, for example, to a specific customer need only do a reverse query from the IP address to a DNS name, and then a forward query for the EUI information.  The tracking entity may relate all queries to specific unique identities regardless of changes in IP addresses and DNS names resulting in a possible loss of privacy for the subscriber.

Publishing those identifiers in the DNS might present privacy concerns, e.g. by providing an indirect mapping between an IPv4 or IPv6 address and a specific end-user device. Operators are encouraged to consider the privacy implications of publishing EUI48 or EUI64 addresses in the DNS before doing so."


Until I explained the use case I was concerned about, you mostly didn't think there was a problem.  I don't have any problems with the text you propose, but I question whether or not a later reader will get the point or believe there is even an issue.

This should probably not be consider as a secure binding between an IP address and an EUI64/48 address.  {Not sure where this should go - this gets perilously close to secure ARP and placing this in the hands of the domain owner rather than the hands of the network owner is probably a "bad thing" }

Sorry.

DNSSEC signs a binding between DNS name and A record.
DNSSEC signs a binding between DNS name and an EUI record.

Application assumes that because there is an Name->A and Name->EUI signed binding, then it can assume a cryptographic binding between the A record (or rather the IP address) and the EUI record (or rather the MAC address).   That's probably a bad assumption given that you're not requiring this and should probably be stated in the security section.

This particular item came up because someone mentioned that it would be useful to have a signature over the DNS/EUI pairing.

Any system which deploys EUI64 and EUI48 RR's should consider how to maintain consistency between the various systems which may be involved in such mapping.  Specifically, DNS, DHCP, and ARP.   Any application that desires to make use of EUI64 and EUI48 RR's for any other use beyond simple data storage should consider how to resolve at least the following possible inconsistencies in data in the DNS and local network information:
>>

All this specification does is to provide an opportunity for the encoding and canonical zone syntax to be more efficient and consistent, respectively.


Mostly a TXT record doesn't provide you with globally actionable data and I wouldn't be too worried (or even be able to detect) mismatches between TXT and A records.  But you chose to put EUI data in the DNS - you need to think about what that might mean in the future past your simple "throw data in the DNS" application.  The fact that the EUI data represents a network connected device in a directly addressable fashion is what makes this more complex than you've considered.

I *don't* know what the future uses may be, but I do know that if I start caring about EUI data, I probably want to consider how to deal with mismatches or interactions with A/AAAA data and the EUI data. 

Consider a draft by Don Eastlake way back in '97 or so dealing with Autonomous System records.  It didn't go forward as an RFC, but it did - in its text - consider how the AS data related to other data in the DNS.  It went so far to say that A records probably shouldn't go in the same node as AS records.  It considered how that record (representing some data that was network actionable) would interact with other records in the DNS.

I think you need something like this, or you need to describe a much more constrained usage model than you already have.

Later, Mike

The Domain Name System's wire protocol includes a number of fixed
fields whose range has been or soon will be exhausted and does not
allow requestors to advertise their capabilities to responders.  This
document describes backward-compatible mechanisms for allowing the
protocol to grow.

This document updates the Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS(0))
specification (and obsoletes RFC 2671) based on feedback from
deployment experience in several implementations.  It also obsoletes
RFC 2673 ("Binary Labels in the Domain Name System") and adds
considerations on the use of extended labels in the DNS.

This document is a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

This is now an Internet Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and

why should Name->A and Name->EUI imply A<->EUI given that you're querying
forward DNS? I don't see how that should be true.

I don't think you'd argue the same for {A, MX} or {A, TXT}. One thing where
something like this might be relevant is {A, SSHFP}. But I don't think
anybody uses DNS->A and DNS->SSHFP together to signify A<->SSHFP, as the
matching is on the name. (Obviously in this case it's likely true, but
if you'd connect directly to the address you wouldn't get the SSHFP
information from anywhere.)

A records are another data domain and independent. You can still sign the
DNS/EUI mapping.

Kind regards

It's RFC 5507.  It's an IAB document.  That doesn't mean that it is 
has special status.

Yeah, sorry ... if you hadn't snipped so much of my message you would 
have seen that was clear from context in spite of my typo.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "special" but I believe that
informational RFCs issued by the IAB constitute at least a mild form
of architectural guidance. To quote from the abstract of 5507: "...
This document lists different mechanisms to extend the DNS, and
concludes that the use of a new DNS Resource Record Type is the best
solution."

Thanks,
Donald

I saw the correct link.  I looked up the (typo) RFC and wondered how 
it was related to DNS.

It's because I will be reading that RFC in future and I may use if I 
comment about the draft.

And every ethernet port is going to have one of your new records in DNS?

C'mon Joe, argue for your positions merits, sure. But please stop using 
these ad absurdum claims, it doesn't add anything to the discourse.

Each of your examples above were planned for wide deployment, and the 
use cases were obvious from the beginning. It's still not clear to me 
how wide spread the use case is for these records, but apparently that 
doesn't matter since the ship has sailed. That's not hurting anything, 
as was pointed out the potential space is huge, and we're only using a 
tiny fraction of it. Just like IPv4. Oh, wait ...  :)

Again, ad absurdum. My point was that there should be _some_ criteria 
applied regarding how "popular" (to use a crass and loaded term) a new 
record is likely to be. Or, I could be wrong ... and my concern is 
totally misplaced. Either way I find it fascinating that people are not 
willing to even consider the question.

Dunno, I still haven't gotten past how silly I think the idea is. :) 
Meanwhile, there are plenty of people who have made observations about 
the utility of your draft, I'm sure it will get whipped into shape with 
or without me.

Well now you're just being an ass. I think my meaning was clear, if 
you're interested in hearing about our use case I'm happy to share, if 
you're not, that's fine too.

Thanks for making your perspective clear. :)

Doug, you're being silly and not contributing anything useful or =
constructive to the discussion. Please stop.

Whether you like some RFC or not is your choice. Nobody else cares or =
needs to care about your RFC preferences. Just like the world doesn't =
need to do that for mine.

You've said on this thread that you consider the draft does not justify =
the assignment of type codes. But not why you think that. No, don't =
bother: the time where that opinion may have counted or was even worth =
listening to has long passed. The expert reviewers have decided the idea =
is sound and justify the type code assignments which IANA has duly done. =
Their opinion is the one which matters here. They've spoken. We're done. =
This thread should have stopped long ago.

In an earlier posting you asked "is your argument that everyone who =
applies should get an RR code point, until they're all gone?". Well the =
short answer to that is yes. Read RFC6195. The expert reviewers can and =
should be trusted to block frivolous or badly thought out type code =
assignment requests. That's why they're expert reviewers. If they screw =
up or somehow lose the confidence of the WG, they get replaced.

The point of the lightweight type code assignment mechanism is to avoid =
futile angels on pinheads debates in this list.

PS At current assigment rates, the Internet will run out of RR type =
codes a few thousand years from now. If this rate changes dramatically, =
I'm reasonably certain a viable solution will be available in good time: =
say a 128 bit QTYPE2 field in EDNS8 queries.=20

Dear colleagues,

No hat.

The WG already came to consensus on the answer to that question.  It
was, roughly, "Yes."  The guidelines for this are well-specified, and
therefore arguments to the effect that a particular use case is not
good enough for a typecode assignment have no force.

Moreover, I think this is a good thing.  There are a lot of people
around the DNS community who seem to think we have a responsibility to
be the protocol cops.  I am not one of them.  I think that it should
be cheap and easy to get a typecode assignment at least until we start
to see evidence that the number space is getting used up unsustainably
quickly.  

Best,

A

[reviewing the discussion from a process perspective -- what is the root 
cause of the controversy?]


It appears that the bar for RR type allocation is lower than for an 
informational RFC.

To which extent should the IESG lower the bar for a specific I-D on the 
ground that it acquired an RR type?



Incidentally:

Process-wise, we could be in front of a "submarine RFC" case: IANA (or 
the expert?) would have followed the RFC6895 procedures before it was 
published.

It bugs me that the IANA allocation process uses a mailing list a) not 
listed in the IANA web pages, and b) (I guess) subject to the IETF IPR 
disclosure policy by virtue of being run under the ietf.org domain.


I am not particularly expert in those details, but somehow I care that
1) stakeholders are created equal, but some are more equal than others 
(e.g. those aware in advance of the submarine RFC), and
2) who controls the process controls the outcome.

The RRType application registry's bar is "expert review". The bar for =
publication of an informational RFC depends on what stream you follow, =
whether it's a working group document, etc. It's not clear to me that =
one bar is obviously lower; they're just different.

I'm not sure that it should (nor that anybody has suggested it should, =
or would).

As I understand it, the directions in draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc6195bis-05 =
were followed by the IANA once that document was approved by the IESG. =
It looks like that happened in December last year. The document emerged =
from the RFC editor queue as RFC6895 two days ago.

It doesn't seem unreasonable that "IESG approval" is the trigger here, =
rather than "RFC published".

> It bugs me that the IANA allocation process uses a mailing list a) not =

I'm not sure what mailing list you're talking about. Applications for =
RRTYPE code point assignments are sent to =
dns-rrtype-applications@ietf.org, which seems to forward to a ticket =
system at the IANA.

> I am not particularly expert in those details, but somehow I care that

I had no particular awareness of the process when I applied for code =
points for EUI48 and EUI64 -- I just found the relevant registry at =
www.iana.org and clicked the link above the table. That took me to =
draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc6195bis-05 which contained instructions; I followed =
them.

> 2) who controls the process controls the outcome.

My experience with this application was that the process was efficient, =
easy to find and easy to understand.

Hi Thierry,

Calling anything but April 1st RFCs a "submarine RFC" is pretty silly.
(April 1st RFCs really do appear with no warning.)

They are all internet-drafts first and publicly available there even
before they are listed in the RFC Edtior's queue for, usually, a
couple of months, while going through the editing process. And, in the
case of a WG document like rfc6195bis, there is notice and discussion
in the working group, the IETF Last Call, the IESG process tracked in
the datatracker, etc.

The IESG has the standards setting and BCP approval authority in the
IETF. It has always been the case that, unless perhaps there is some
special provision in the document, drafts take effect on the final
approval by the IESG, that is, at the time they are transferred to the
RFC Editor, not when the RFC issues.

RFC Editor's queue is here, which is linked off the RFC Editor home page:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue2.html
RFC publication can be held up for a variety of reasons. The oldest
document currently in the queue was placed there 2012-02-21, almost 14
months ago.

Thanks,
Donald

I stand corrected on this one, with the following nuance: while IETF 
processes are eminently transparent and public, they remain obscure and 
complex, at least at the detailed level, for anyone not directly involved.

I stand corrected because IANA web pages indeed refers to the I-D once 
approved and until the RFC is published (but still, once the RFC is 
published, the date of I-D approval disappears from the IANA web pages 
... so a hindsight understanding of IANA motivation for a protocol 
assignment between I-D approval and RFC publication is harder).

I never figured out how to train myself about BCP. I got bored of IETF 
process before I could. So what about others not directly involved?

Were this AD sponsored, which in fact it isn't  yet the responsible AD 
would be looking for reviewers, and at a minimum it would be subject to 
an IETF last call.

the ISG processing rules say:

AD Sponsored documents to Standards Track require review in the IETF, 
IETF Last Call, and IESG approval. AD Sponsored documents to 
Experimental/Informational require some form of review in the IETF and 
IESG approval. While RFC 2026 does not require the latter type of 
documents to go through an IETF Last Call, this statement suggests that 
it is always performed. It is needed to ensure adequate review and 
transparency in a situation where the pending publication of the 
document may not be known by any Working Group or the IETF community at 
large.

Maybe, most of you are uninterested in technical content of
the draft.

But, the proposal not using just an EUI type (depends on RDLENGTH),
but EUI48 and EUI64 types is inefficient w.r.t. RR type space
and the number of queries to get EUI information of a node.

It sounds like your counter-proposal would have been to specify a single =
RRType with an additional field in the RDATA to distinguish between =
EUI48 and EUI64, e.g. without drawing the bitfields, something that =
might have a presentation format like

  owner1.example. 86400 IN EUI 48 7c-d1-c3-e8-10-2f

I think that's a perfectly valid idea. However, two code points have =
already been assigned for each of EUI48 and EUI64 at this point, and at =
least one vendor has implemented them according to the =
currently-circulating specification. I think we can consider both =
assigned code points to be polluted at this point, and hence revising =
the spec to make use of a single RRType would (a) not actually preserve =
a code point in the RRTypes registry, and (b) would present interop =
problems against current implementations if one of the assigned =
code-points was re-used. In effect, to implement your suggestion would =
require a third code-point.

I sometimes read some of the (informational) RFCs issued by the IAB 
as guidance.  I won't tell anyone that the RFC is more important than 
another RFC (what I meant by "special").  It helps (me) to have some 
mild form of architectural guidance as a way to avoid solving issues 
which have already been solved previously.

Worse, as:

is still a problem, the third code point must be allocated. But,

That were a valid argument if "some vendor has implemented it
with TXT" were a valid argument against EUI48 and EUI64.

Yes, of course.

If you insist on the current draft, I can write a draft and
request the third code point, can't I?

Yes, of course. Since there are already code-points assigned for the =
publication of EUI48/EUI64 addresses in the DNS now, though, it seems =
possible that such a request would be denied though, on that basis.

Um, wait. I thought code points should be free, and easy to obtain. 
What's the harm in having a different way to represent similar data? If 
down the road someone comes up with a fourth option that is clearly 
vastly superior to either of your proposals, should they also be denied?

down the road someone comes up with a fourth option that is clearly =
vastly superior to either of your proposals, should they also be denied?

I guess that's down to the expert review. I thought there was some =
explicit text in 6195 or 6895 that touched on this, but in fact what I =
was remembering was question F in the allocation template (e.g. see 6895 =
appendix A).

   F. What existing RRTYPE or RRTYPEs come closest to filling that need
      and why are they unsatisfactory?

Quite possibly I was reading more into that question than was intended.

Nobody needs to show harm here, because the guidance to experts in RFC
6895 (found in section 3.1.2, specifically number 4) says the expert
shouldn't approve requests "when the purpose could be met with a
smaller number of values or with Private Use values."

If there are people who would like the procedures for RRTYPE
assignment to change, I encourage them to submit
draft-doe-wannabe-dns-cops-00 or whatever it should be called.  But it
seems to me that arguing about the goodness of the allocation
procedure that is actually in operation is not a great use of
participants' time.  Note that the WG is not taking up any more
documents, so a new IANA procedure for DNS RRTYPE code assignment
would have to go through another route.  Perhaps an AD sponsorship.

Best regards,

A

Sure, so my theoretical case would be approved (assuming the new type 
actually is superior).

> assignment to change

Not my purpose at all ... clearly my previous understanding was 
incorrect, and I was met with "it should be easy to allocate a new 
type." Now someone else is proposing a new type, and the same folks are 
saying "no, you shouldn't get your new type." I'm confused.

I'm not against all additions of text to this draft. Here is my
suggested text, partly based on Michael StJohn's suggestions:


Possible main body text:

The specification of the new RRTYPEs in this document has no effect on
the address resolution behavior of any previously existing network
processes or protocols. Proposals or specifications to modify or
augment address resolution processes or protocols by making use of
these RRTPES should specify how any address conflicts or multiple EUI
RR occurrences or the like are handled.


Possible Security Considerations text:

There may be privacy concerns with publishing EUI RRs in the global
DNS. EUI addresses with the Global bit zero [RFC5342] are supposed to
represent unique identifiers for network connected equipment
notwithstanding many observed cases of duplication due to
manufacturing errors, unauthorized use of OUIs, and address spoofing
through configuration of network interfaces. Inclusion of EUI RRs in
the global DNS may result in privacy issues in the form of unique
trackable identities. IP addresses and DNS names for network devices
typically change over time but EUIs normally provide a unique identity
for a network device. As an example of this, consider a wireless
provider that publishes EUI information for its subscribers in the
global DNS under the same name as their IP host name. An entity that
wants to relate web queries, for example, to a specific customer
might, if that customer is using a globally routable IP address, be
able to do a reverse query from the IP address to a DNS name, and then
a forward query for the EUI information. If possible, this would
enable a tracking entity to relate queries to specific identity
regardless of changes in IP addresses and DNS names resulting in a
loss of privacy for the subscriber. These potential concerns can be
mitigated through restricting access to zones containing EUI RRs
and/or storage of such information under a domain name whose
construction requires that the querier already know some other
permanent identifier.


Thanks,
Donald

The policy is not first come, first served. It is lenient, not free.
It is an Expert judgement call.

Having multiple ways of representing the same data doesn't hurt much
if they are used for different purposes. If they are used for the same
purpose and some might be using one and some the other, it multiplies
the number of queries since you should check for all of them.

But of course, if there is a *vastly superior* way, then one could
hope that everyone would eventually switch to the new way. So in that
case it might make sense to have a new way to represent the same data
for the same purpose and accept a transient increase in queries.

Thanks,
Donald

Sure, I agree with that of course. I also had in mind the "same data, 
but different (or dissimilar) purposes."

Your explanation makes sense, thanks for helping me understand.

That is not a problem as my draft will obsolete clearly inefficient
way with EUI48/EUI64 and EUI48/EUI64 specification is not published
as an RFC yet.

As I already wrote:

> That were a valid argument if "some vendor has implemented it
> with TXT" were a valid argument against EUI48 and EUI64.

that there are informal ways to represent some data does not
block to have a formal way to do so, even though someone has
implemented the informal ways.

Don't quote the RFC wrongly.

The text in the RFC is:

   4. An excessive number of RRTYPE values is being requested when the
      purpose could be met with a smaller number of values or with
      Private Use values.

Do you mean 1 is an excessive number?

If so, as 2 is clearly more excessive than 1, the original request
with EUI48/EUI64 should have been denied as the purpose can be met
with a smaller number of value.

Ohta'san makes a good point, the currently allocated points are not in =

thus they can be reassigned at later point i.e. after we all stop caring =

Lets just live with the "wasted" code points.

Hi all,

I incorporated the text from Michael and Donald, and added text =
describing the use case that triggered this work (as has been described =
on this list before).

Given that these RRTypes, code-points assigned, have been implemented as =
specified by at least one DNS server vendor, I have not considered =
changing the presentation or encoding (or the number of) these RRTypes; =
it seems counter-productive to change the spec when there is already =
running code. I imagine any other related specification could proceed on =
its own merits.

If anybody has further suggestions for improvement (of this document, =
not of RFC6895) please let me know.

The RRtypes may be implemented, but no such code has been officially
released. Before releasing, the specification should be stable (and if
we did, we would disable it by default and mark it experimental).

Therefore, I do not see this as an argument not to make changes in the
presentation or encoding of the RRtypes. If such changes are made, we
can quite easily adapt the code.

Best regards,
  Matthijs

True; although I still think it's cleaner to leave the wire format alone =
now that there is running code, I agree that the running code is =
probably not actually running anywhere yet and the cost of changing the =
spec is therefore not high.

Several alternatives occur to me, some suggested by others here (e.g. =
Ohta-san), e.g.

1. A single EUI RRType that includes some number of bits to identify the =
type of EUI address (EUI-48 and EUI-64, currently), the remaining =
payload dependant on those bits.

2. A single IEEE RRType that includes perhaps a larger number of bits to =
accommodate other types of IEEE identifier, perhaps with an attendant =
registry to allow future use of the RRType to be defined in an =
extensible way.

3. Presentation formats that hide the details from sight, e.g. interpret =
example. $ttl IN EUI 7c-d1-c3-e8-10-2f as an EUI-48 address and set the =
address type bits implicitly, whereas example. $ttl IN EUI =
88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff is clearly an EUI-64 address.

There is an argument that being able to publish both EUI-48 and EUI-64 =
addresses for the same owner name is more efficient if it can be done in =
a single RRSet. However, I don't see any examples of networked devices =
that use both EUI-48 and EUI-64 addresses simultaneously on the same =
interface; each address type seems to be used by different network types =
(e.g. EUI-48 for ethernet, EUI-64 for firewire) and I haven't seen any =
examples of shared use.

Given the lack of motivation to preserve RRTypes (according to the =
current allocation rules, don't shoot the messenger) and the lack of =
obvious examples of other IEEE addresses that might be useful to encode =
(EUI-64 is already pretty marginal) I tend to think that the spec as =
written has the benefit of simplicity and clarity, and complicating it =
has little short- or long-term benefit for implementers or users.

It's arguable I guess that the current spec is also more consistent in =
approach with A and AAAA, in the sense that we didn't overload a single =
RRType to accommodate multiple address types for IP addresses. I realise =
that's more an accident of history than a conscious design decision for =
A/AAAA (and one that some people wish was different).

I feel like a lot of mailing list bandwidth has already been expended on =
what is frankly a fairly small-time application, but if there's =
consensus here that the spec should be overhauled I can do that =
regardless of whether the process demands it (my impression is it =
doesn't; this is not a working group document and the allocation =
procedure doesn't actually require an RFC to be published at all).

If you are going for economy, I would have thought the most economical =
would be one byte representing the length of the string, then the actual =
bytes in binary format (in wire format). Obviously hyphens (or colons =
for that matter) can be used in the presentation format.

This is amazing overkill. RRtypes are not a scarce resource; the WG =
already decided that, regardless of the fact that some people forgot it. =
Having different types for different lengths makes the processing code =
easier; combining them with some in-record logic makes it harder.

Having the WG second-guess the expert reviewer is not a good use of =
anyone's time.

Hello,

Section 13.1 of draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-14 obsoletes the SPF RRTYPE:

   'IANA is requested to add an annotation to the SPF RRTYPE saying
    "(OBSOLETE - use TXT)" in the DNS Parameters registry.'

Is the annotation in the DNS Parameters registry correct?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy (as document shepherd)

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6891,
"Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS(0))".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6891&eid=3604

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Olafur Gudmundsson <ogud@ogud.com>

Section: 9.1

Original Text
-------------

9.1.  OPT Option Code Allocation Procedure

  OPT Option Codes are assigned by Expert Review.

  Assignment of Option Codes should be liberal, but duplicate
  functionality is to be avoided.

Corrected Text
--------------

9.1.  DNS EDNS0 Option Code Changes

  This document modifies the name of the existing registry DNS EDNS0 
  Options to DNS EDNS0 Option Codes (OPT) and updates the registration
  procedures to Expert Review.

  Assignment of Option Codes should be liberal, but duplicate
  functionality is to be avoided.

Notes
-----
In the publication process fixing this one minor mistake in clarifying the name of the registry fell through the cracks, the consequence of this is that IANA needs this errata to clarify the registry name.

Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.

I think the currently allocated two RRTYPEs are just fine.

There are no network interfaces that I am aware of that have both 48
and 64 bit MAC addresses. While 48-bit is more commonly used in
standards, some uses of 64 could end up being very numerous, such as
802.15 sensor devices and the like.

Thanks,
Donald

It is in keeping with past practice, e.g., see the notations for MD, MF, =
A6, and the MAILA RRtypes at =

Personally, I agree with you.  TXT to SPF transition was always
going to be a slow transition.  libspf2 took ages to come out but
it is out now and looks for SPF records first.  Waiting less than
is single hardware deprecation cycle before stating that the
transition is not working wasn't a good faith effort.  The introduction
of MX records to 10 or more years before you could reliably have
MX only (no A records) domains.

Yes, it has.  Did you miss RFC 6686?

Once again, the huge practical barriers to deploying new RRTYPEs made
the SPF RR dead on arrival.

I've read it.  Didn't strike me as particularly persuasive towards =

Yes, the ossification of the DNS makes introducing new things =

In any event, I suppose that's what last call is for.

Good point.

It is not.

Because of so high noise level here attempting to deploy DNSSEC,
we fail to join a lot of discussions on the real works.

It may be cleaner, true, but if there is a good proposal to change the
wire format or presentation format it should not be the reason to turn
such a change down.

I agree and I hope you realize that my previous mail was not
discussing the RRtype allocation. I was merely arguing your argument
for not changing the wire and presentation format. I also don't
propose any changes to the format (although I do have some ideas about
that), but suppose if someone did, imho your "running code" argument
should not be a valid reason to deny such a change.

Overloading the TXT record has always been a Really Bad Idea. I'm with
drc here. While the draft probably is formally proper, it advocates the
worng decision and I cannot support it.

OTOH, mixing up routing layer with application layer and gilding some
IP addresses in favour of others is another Really Bad Idea; I'd rather
throw the entire business of supposedly Good and Bad addresses out the
window and start looking at the in-band data instead; ie. DKIM or similar.

While removing SPF can be seen as in support of above, I'm pretty certain
that it in practice just will continue as usual, in TXT records. Better=20
then that we get to keep TXT records for free-form data.=20

Dear M=E5ns,

Obsoleting SPF RR is not enough.  All macros should be deprecated as =
well.  tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3123 predates this poorly conceived =
scheme.

SPF was poorly conceived starting out as 2KB TXT XML encoded resource =
records in DNS where many expect direct use of TXT resource records =
permits wildcard replication.  This scheme also expects receivers to =
combine email-address local-parts with SPF domains to query other =
resource record sets.  SPF may induce high query overheads flooding =
caches with up to 100 transactions derived from email-address =
local-parts that normally vary in spam campaigns to also support DDoS =
attacks leveraging receiver's attempt to verify service authorizations.
(10 mechanisms x 10 (PTRs or As or AAAAs))  Permitting PTRs can also =
lead to connection resource exhaustion. The macro expansion can also =
leverage DNS name compression to further increase network amplifications =
against some unseen domain while spamming entirely different domains.

The macro scheme was not intended to validate EHLOs or provide NDN =
authorizations and inappropriately exposes aspects of message handling.  =
The review of SPF use also neglects whether major providers process =
these macros, many whom assure they do not.  Verifying the ELHO is =
seldom supported, where authorization permits by bulk sender's to dodge =
accountability.  Without genuine domain authentication SMTP is not safe. =
  =20

A safe and effective alternative is needed to safely provide a basis for =
assessing and reacting to abusive behavior.  XMPP offers examples of =
StartTLS used in a highly scalable fashion that can leverage OCSP and =
self published DANE Certs needed to support IPv6. =20

One obvious one is, "Don't have two mechanisms to achieve the same
goal."  Given that SPF has the TXT record and that there is zero hope
of getting rid of that use, the SPF RRTYPE was just a vain hope.  

And indeed, as DKIM and other such uses show, the underscore-label
extension is a permanent part of the DNS landscape and we should
expect applications to depend on that as often as on new RRTYPEs,
regardless of any advice to the contrary.  It's rather unfortunate
that SPF didn't use that, but it didn't.

Best,

It means anything to be implemented by TXT can not have its own
RR.

"there is zero hope of getting rid of that use"?

Why?

Some reasoning, please.

Where is the advice not to have underscore-label extensions
with SRV?

The problem of underscore-label extensions is that the
underscore-labels is not assured to be unique (RFC1034
imposes no restriction to use underscore-label for any
purpose) and can have conflicts to other applications.

Thus, an application specific underscore-label extension is
just fine if and only if it is tied with applications' own
specific RR type to prevent ambiguities on meaning of the label.

That is, having application specific RRs is MUST, even if you
use underscore-labels.

Dear colleagues,

First, no hat, but just for context: I am co-chair of the moribund
dnsext and also of spfbis.  Glancing at another hat, I am acutely
aware of recommendations the IAB has historically made about the use
and extension of the DNS, and I mostly agree with those observations.
To emphasise, however, I am speaking here in an individual capacity.

This conversation should probably move to spfbis@ if we're going to
have it out, but I want to make sure that people who haven't been
following that WG have the appropriate context.

On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 11:13:29AM +0000, Ted Lemon wrote:

I'm not sure whether Ted is offering advice above to a still-active WG
of which he is the shepherd, or participating as an individual, but in
any case I'd like to point out that the documents in question (one of
which is already an RFC) don't advocate new use of TXT because another
type is "too hard".  There's actually an interoperability problem, and
there's a simple fact of deployment.  The IETF has not had notable
success when it pretends to be King Canute, and I think "tromping on
this" would be an example of such behaviour.

First, it is worth noting three things about the co-existing SPF and TXT
records described in RFC 4408.  The first is that a server using SPF
MUST publish at least one of them.  The second is that a client using
SPF MUST query for at least one of them.  The third is that there was
never any specification of interdependency between these records. 

The consequence of those three things is that there's a basic interop
problem in RFC 4408: if a server only publishes SPF records and a
client only looks up TXT records (or conversely), they both implement
the protocol as specified and yet the communication fails.  So, this
is broken.

Now, SPFBIS was chartered to move SPF from experimental to the
standards track, on the not-implausible premises that it's a widely
deployed technology and, indeed, 4408 was never really an experiment
anyway.  To fix the interop problem above, we have three options:

    1.  Specify that clients query first SPF, and then query TXT if
    SPF returned NODATA.

    2.  Specify that clients first query TXT, and then SPF if TXT
    returned either NODATA or a TXT record that wasn't an SPF record.

    3.  Deprecate one of the types.

We rejected (1) (in consultation with DNSOP) on the grounds that the
evidence showed overwhelmingly that deployed systems used TXT in
preference to SPF.  A number of systems (including, full disclosure,
one of the services that my employer, Dyn, offers) to this day only
support SPF using TXT records.  So, (1) would result in an increase of
query traffic with little, if any, benefit.

We rejected (2) on the grounds that, since nearly every system we
looked at (and all the systems that didn't appear to be operated by
DNS nerds) published a TXT record for SPF (and maybe also published an
SPF record), the SPF type lookup would just never happen.  Ditching
the additional lookup logic leads to a simpler specification and
simpler implementations, at no apparent cost.  Moreover, if everyone
migrated to type SPF, (2) would be bad in the same way (1) is, only
worse because of the additional complexity caused by having to examine
every TXT record at an owner name prior to falling through.

This led us to (3).  Of course, in (3), we could either deprecate the
SPF type or the use of TXT for this purpose.  But the deployed base
has clearly spoken: TXT is the overwhelming preference, and almost
everyone who publishes an SPF record also publishes a TXT SPF record.
Deprecating the TXT use would mean that the actual deployed software
would never stop using 4408 as its specification, because of the
massive backward compatibility problem that would arise.

I am very, very unhappy about this fact, but it is a fact of the
world, and I think the IETF just makes itself look ridiculous if it
attempts to make the rest of the world work the way we would like.
There is no question that it is architecturally lousy that we're using
TXT records for this.  The underscore-label convention, as much as it
gives me hives, offers a way for future innovations to avoid trouncing
all over the TXT record at an owner name, so I don't think SPF
functions as any kind of precedent.  And I, as much as anyone, am
extremely keen to promote the idea that new RRTYPEs are often a good
idea.  But we are just not in a position to try to tell the Internet
not to use TXT in this particular case, and I think we're dreaming in
Technicolor if we suppose that we could.

Best,

A

In the near term.  It is unclear what the effect would be long term.

I know that, as an implementer, if I had a spec that was unambiguous
about the intended behaviour of SPF-then-TXT that I would endeavour to
make my software be part of the evolution that moved things in the
right direction.  (I currently work on a widely deployed auth server,
not a resolver, and that server supports the SPF record.)

I will not pretend to prognosticate, however, on whether similar
action by other developers would be widespread enough to eventually
noticeably mitigate the extra query hit.  I don't think anyone else
can convincingly make the case that they really know how it would work
out, either.

As an operator, both for a large organization and also one whose
personal DNS server sits behind a pretty small pipe, to me that extra
hit is hardly a worse situation than AAAA-then-A.

No hat.

It was partly the never-ending complaints about that very situation
that led me to believe that the extra traffic would be a bad thing.

But, with my moderator hat on, if people want to argue about this,
however, the correct place to do it is on the spfbis list, please.

You're confusing cause and effect.  For one thing, back in 2004-2005 
getting a new RR type allocated was so painful that it wasn't worth the 
effort when they were trying out SPF.  I realize this problem has been 
somewhat alleviated.

The much more serious reason is that the provisioning systems to let 
system managers install type 99 records into their DNS did not exist, and 
for the most part still do not exist.  I know a lot of the people who did 
early SPF installations and they uniformly reported that even getting the 
provisioning software to support TXT records that have been around since 
the dawn of the DNS was painful, and there would have been no hope for a 
new and exotic record type.  Since their goal was to make SPF actually 
work, they used a kludge.  It's the same reason DKIM uses TXT records.

Wow, and it's only taken eight fripping years.  Perhaps if we wait another 
century the provisioning systems will catch up.  If the DNS crowd spent 
half the effort addressing the provisioning problem that you do trying to 
deny that it exists, it'd have been fixed years ago.  My dnsextlang 
proposal is one approach, but surely not the only one.

In any event, the SPF draft is in WGLC.  Feel free to read the extensive 
discussion in the list archives and let them know how you feel.

R's,
John

PS: The system that lets you enter SPF records wouldn't be Godaddy, would 
it?  If so, create an SPF record, then do a dig and try to find it.

That we have a large and unaddressed problem of cruddy provisioning

This is a slippery slope. One record overload is not bad, but it sort
of opens the floodgates for systematic overloading. DNSEXT and DNSOP
certainly need to get involved; because this is way bigger than just SPF.

And IMNSHO spfbis is out of scope prescribing TXT records, just because
of this contagiousness.

For the record: I think that the spfbis draft is unfit for publication
as RFC unless TXT records are deprectaed as only carrier of data.

It seems to be the case that there are rather a lot of people on the dnsext=
 mailing list who are on the rough side of the consensus here.   That sugge=
sts that perhaps the consensus isn't in the direction that we are presuming=
 it is.

>In the near term.  It is unclear what the effect would be long term.

There are at least several hundred thousand mail systems publishing
TXT SPF records, and presumably a similar number checking them.

Their SPF deployment works fine.  It is absurd to claim that TXT SPF
records will ever stop working.  Why should they change?  What's the
justification for spending money on software that provides them no
benefits?

I published type 99 records for a while and can report from direct
experience that they did, indeed, provide no benefit whatsoever, and a
certain amount of hassle due to other systems whose type 99 code
turned out to be buggy.

R's,
John

PS: Nobody's arguing that SPF is a well designed protocol, but its
installed base is undeniable.

Are you saying that the people on the DNSEXT mailing list read the =

means more than voicing an uninformed reaction on an unrelated mailing =

Once stuff has been deployed, there's almost no chance of un-deploying =
it. If you think all the mail software using SPF will switch from TXT =
records to SPF records (or vice versa), feel free to document how to =
make that happen.

I think you've misunderstood. Of course there's no such advice. [SRV =
records explicitly use underscores in certain labels so their domain =
names avoid clashing with host names (which can't contain underscores). =
An SRV record of sip.udp.example.com would be bad if there already was =
an A or MX record (say) for that hostname.] Others have adopted this =
practice/convention: some SPF users it seems. RFC5507 discusses the sort =
of things to consider when planning to add suffixes or prefixes to =
domain names.

All domain names are by definition unique. Whether they contain =
underscores or not. Anyone inserting an underscore somewhere in an =
existing domain name creates a new domain name that might already exist. =
So what?=

There were a set of (protracted) discussions in DANE on having our own =
RR type or overloading TXT.

There were a number of arguments on each side, but much of it boiled =
down to:
a: web based provisioning systems suck, and some middle boxes dinkle =
with unknown RR types, so use TXT.

b: overloading TXT is inelegant and required custom and complex parsers. =
Also, some of the data we want to carry is binary, and so you'd have to =
b64 (or something) encode it (not insurmountable, but annoying).

As always there were fairly strong views (and each side had folk who =
were, or believed that they were,  DNS experts), but the consensus ended =
up being a dedicated RR type.
As an aside, the RR type allocation process was painless and quick.

An easily accessible document describing the implications of choosing an =
RR type over funky TXT records, and how to evaluate these would be =
useful.
Added brownie points if the document also describes how to do discovery =
/ naming. TLSA settled on the _port._protcol.host.example.com =
"standard",  but much time was spent on this discussion (and if =
tree-walking could be performed, and if so how, etc.)
Yes, everyone's needs are different, but being able say "Some DNS wonks =
have already thought about this, go read RFC $foo before commenting =
please" would have been nice.

Based on the current discussion a similar approach may be followed 
for the SPF RRTYPE.    Please note that this is in my view a IANA 
Considerations (administrative) issue.

>I personally believe deprecating the SPF RR is the wrong way to go,

Yes, the thread is at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00426.html 
The results of the discussion is documented in RFC 6686.

It is not so much that SPFbis is prescribing practice as it is
updating to describe practice and avoid potential problems that have
been identified with having both TXT and type 99 records (without a
lot of verbage to address hypothetical future use).

Would you be any happier if the WG left type 99 records and in a coy
manner made it clear that usage is overwhelmingly TXT based with
little likelyhood of type 99 gathering any meaningful traction? I'm
sure that if the issues surrounding adoption of new RR types were
resolved we would not be having this discussion - but they haven't
been resolved.

Måns,

SPF has one important benefit that DKIM cannot, reduction of
joe-jobbing. I used to get backscatter at the rate of at least 2-3 per
day, with peaks of 10-20. After adding an SPF record with the hard-fail
option that's down to a couple per month.

SPFBIS AD hat on for this:

We are *long* past this discussion. This discussion should have happened 
at SPFBIS *chartering* time, as it is crystal clear from the charter 
that existing features currently in use in SPF are not going away. 
Indeed, the TXT record was specifically mentioned in the charter.

I certainly have the same heartburn as everyone else about having used 
TXT in this manner, but that ship has long sailed. This is running and 
interoperable code and it is being documented on the standards track. 
Unless you think there is a piece of information I missed in my 
assessment that we had consensus to go forward with this work in the 
first place, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that this 
is not in the rough part of the consensus now.

Sheesh.  The changes were a lot less, and were a lot easier to explain 
since everyone with even the most cursory familiarity with DNS knows 
what TXT records are.

There is and will always be an interoperability problem and a 'simple' =

RRtypes. I do not believe the issues faced in SPF deployment are unique =
and I imagine there will be protocols in the future that follow the same =
steps, i.e., put info in the DNS using TXT during initial experimental =
phases because it's easy/simple/doesn't require any =
approvals/documentation/interaction with others and then come back later =
and try to do "the right thing" when the protocol "works".

As I try to be pragmatic, I personally don't get hives about the =
underscore-label convention. I don't think it is an ideal choice, but it =
does get around broken DPI firewalls/policy that reject unknown RR =
types. (of course, SPFBIS doesn't even do this). However, I believe the =
implication of the SPFBIS decision is to cement this approach for future =
DNS protocol enhancements.

This should probably be made clear to RRtype expert reviewers and (if it =
doesn't already exist -- quick review of the IANA registries suggests =
that it doesn't) a registry should probably be created to avoid =
collisions on underscore labels.  Of course, I wouldn't put it past DPI =
firewall and/or 'security' policy makers to start filtering underscore =
labels but so it goes.  Hmm.  I wonder how many of the DNS User =
Interfaces out there disallow underscores in labels...=20

There have been a number of rather stiff comments sent to me privately abou=

So to be clear here, the document in question is not a DNSEXT document, and=
 I am not responsible area director for the working group in which the docu=
ment has been considered.

Someone proposed that I might be threatening to use my influence as one mem=
ber of the IESG to influence the outcome of the consensus call on this docu=
ment.   To be clear, I was not threatening to do that, and it hadn't occurr=
ed to me that someone would think I was threatening to do that. I do unders=
tand why someone might have been concerned that I was threatening to do tha=
t, and I apologize for having given that impression.

As to what I did mean here, what I meant is that I think this is a matter t=
hat DNSEXT people are clearly interested in, and there are a lot of DNSEXT =
people who think deprecating the SPF record in favor of the TXT record is e=
xactly the wrong thing to do, including me with my AD hat off.

With my AD hat on, I actually have no clue how to resolve this question.   =
I've been in working groups where another working group has dogpiled on an =
issue.   It's certainly appropriate for people who do not agree with the de=
precation of the spf record to participate in the spfbis last call, althoug=
h you ought to read the document and review the history first.

However, there is also an IETF last call, and the purpose of the IETF last =
call, as I understand it, is to evaluate whether a document that a working =
group has produced actually has consensus within the IETF.   As far as I un=
derstand it, it is entirely in scope for participants on the dnsext mailing=
 list to speak up at the IETF last call and say "hey, this is a really bad =
idea, here's why."

It's my understanding that the responsible AD for the working group whose d=
ocument got pushback in IETF last call is supposed to evaluate consensus on=
 that document; that would be Pete Resnick, not me, so you don't have to wo=
rry about my corrupt influence on that process.

I don't think IETF last calls often fail to produce consensus, but it did h=
appen recently with the MIF DHCP Default Route option.   Like this document=
, the DHCP Default Route option was in the MIF charter, which had been thro=
ugh IETF last call.   But when the document itself went though IETF last ca=
ll, there was substantial pushback.   As a result of this, the document did=
 not advance.

It might be worth considering another related case.   Years ago, the DHC wo=
rking group proposed a new RRtype, the DHCID RRtype.   At the time, existin=
g DHCP servers were using TXT records to record identifiers on names so tha=
t they could tell whether or not it was safe to do a DNS Update on that nam=
e on behalf of a client that was claiming the name.   We wrote up a single,=
 thorough document explaining how to do it, brought it to DNSEXT, and got t=
he rotten tomato treatment.

Eventually we broke the document up into three pieces, published one as a D=
NSEXT (or was it DNSIND?) document, one I think as a DNSOP document, and on=
e as a DHC document.   At the time of publication, and for many years after=
, 100% of implementations used the TXT record, not DHCID.

I do not know what the prevalence of DHCID in the field is at this point.  =
 I don't actually care.  The standard says the right thing.   If existing i=
mplementations do something different, that's okay, as long as it works.   =
Eventually the implementations will get fixed.   I think this is the right =
outcome for DHCID.   It's not exactly analogous to the situation with SPF, =
though, where the text record is actually documented in RFC4408.

I think you can make an argument for letting this go, or for trying to argu=

Ted and I spoke a bit about this offline, but just to follow up on a

It is certainly acceptable to reply to the IETF Last Call, but it is 
also important to keep in mind what the valid issues to raise are. I 
intend to make sure that we stay on topic during Last Call, and I will 
attempt to put appropriate reminders in the Last Call announcement 
itself. In particular, rehashing issues that ought to have been decided 
at charter time, or during the Last Call of RFC 6686, are unlikely to be 
allowed to go on for very long without a clear accounting of new 
information that has come to light since then.

I think it reasonably likely that I can avoid being corrupted by Ted. ;-)

We have been on a long steady drift away from actually doing cross area 
work (and note that I didn't say "review"; that comes too late) and have 
become rather silo-ed, and we also seem to have forgotten how to get 
broad consensus. I've been working on the latter (see <some random 
I-D>), and I believe the IESG is starting to think about the former. I 
am more hopeful than I used to be.

So, I'm looking at the charter, and I see nothing in the charter about depr=
ecating SPF.   Indeed, I see this, which I think forbids deprecating SPF:

This doesn't seem to be subject to a lot of interpretation.

Indeed, and this was a topic of some serious discussion at the time that 
6686 was being worked on, and I'll suggest, as some others have, that 
you read that document to see why the decision was made. (Indeed, this 
particular charter item was the topic of a rather contentious appeal to 
the AD that went a different way for a different topic.)

And I'd suggest that this is no longer an interesting topic of 
conversation for DNSEXT.

What I tried to explain in RFC5507 was that the real pain(*) is when you =

The selector of what you want can only be in one of the owner, class or =

As Ted pointed out, that seems not to be the case.

Meanwhile, some of us have spoken long and loud about how deprecating 
the SPF record is the wrong path, which includes before, during, and 
after spfbis was chartered. Those concerns have consistently been 
shouted down, as you are doing now.

The way forward is simple, spfbis should specify that compliant senders 
MUST publish the SPF record, and compliant receivers MUST query for it 
first. Then down the road at some point we can deprecate TXT for this 
purpose. If that had been done in the beginning we would be celebrating 
the deprecation of the TXT record right about now, instead of having 
another round of contentious arguments about doing it the right way in 
the first place.

Everyone knows the history of how hard it was to get new RRtypes off the 
ground at the time SPF first came into being. A lot of lessons were 
learned from that, and the situation is much better now. Everyone also 
understands that the problem of upgrading 3rd party and/or web-based 
provisioning systems to accommodate new records is still a problem. But 
that problem doesn't get better by ignoring it.

In short, the proponents of SPF (which by the way, I like and use) 
should be focusing on doing the right thing here, instead of the 
expedient thing.

I fail to see how the word "simple" can be legitimately applied here given
the breadth of the deployed base of SPF that's using TXT.  It may be the
right thing to do, but I don't think that's a mountain that's easy to
move.  Certainly it's easy to talk about it though.

I think that same history gives rise to another way forward.  When SPF came
into being, the RRtype issue prevented the right thing from happening.  It
was made worse by late insertion of a sloppy transition mechanism.  It's
much too late to fix that now, but we can take steps to prevent it from
happening with future protocols. Thus: Take our licks and leave this one
alone, but do good work on improving process and provisioning so that it
can't happen again.

Gee, on a bad day I used to get 300,000, mostly from parts of the
world where SPF still isn't very widely used.  (Yes. that's the right
number of zeros.)  Now it's down to an insignificant 250 or so, mostly
because the spammer who used to forge my address in all his spam has
gone on to other stuff.

Look, we all understand why glomming everything into TXT records is
not ideal.  If we were defining SPf from scratch, and the time to get
new rrtypes into provisioning systems were measured in months rather
than decades, we'd likely have done something else.  But we aren't,
and it's not.

I didn't say "Don't query for TXT records any more." I definitely didn't 
say, "Let's throw out SPF altogether." I said "change it to go the right 
way around in the first place." Obviously the transition will take time 
(as I also pointed out), but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't start 
doing it the right way now.

And really, it IS simple. Tomorrow all the extant software that deals 
with SPF gets updated to query for SPF first. The next day all the docs 
for publishing SPF records tell people to publish both. Ok, tomorrow and 
the next day are probably not realistic, but how about next week? Or 
next month? This isn't brain surgery, it really is a very simple change. 
And sure it's going to take time to implement, time to upgrade the 
installed base, and time for the pendulum to swing from TXT being 
queried nearly universally to SPF instead. But it's a minimal amount of 
effort, and the time is going to pass anyway.

There is simply no reason not to do this right, and to start doing it 
right now.

We in the DNS world have a ton of experience with the long tail of an 
installed base that doesn't upgrade often. Maybe that's the difference 
in perspective that makes this look like an "easy" problem to us.

I would argue that the situation at the time made doing the right thing 
more difficult than using the TXT record, not that it made it 
impossible. But I will agree to disagree on that point. :)

But it's not. That's the point. I realize that the course of action 
where we throw up our hands and say to ourselves, "better luck next 
time, hopefully this will become a lesson learned" is wildly attractive. 
But it's bad to do that. Bad for SPF, bad for the DNS in general, and 
bad for the Internet as a whole. And most importantly, it would be 
choosing to do the wrong thing when there is no reason not to do the 
right thing.

Indeed.  What could we do to encourage people to use new RRTYPEs from
the beginning of their experiments?

Wagging fingers, insulting people, and asserting that there is no
barrier to installing new versions of software has a proven track
record of failure.  Perhaps we could identify the actual bottlenecks
(if you've read my previous zillion messages you know what I have in
mind) and figure out how to fix them.

R's,

I believe the right engineering design choice in MARID was made.  The 
problem was the DNS Servers have not caught up with the very least of 
having a passthru concept with unnamed query types.  It is was clearly 
known what the issues were in MARID, a migration path was provided with 
the protocol and we fully expected the DNS servers will eventually catch 
up and support unnamed types. [1]  It was a long term migration path 
issue as Doug Barton pointed out.

I still believe having a specific record is the right thing and path. 
Eliminating it will only encourage more TXT-based protocols.  The 
question is whether the DNS servers will support it or at the very least 
a passthru.

I suggest to keep it and to relax the requirements, and basically have 
developers keep it as an software design option, i.e. don't forget about 
it, comment it out, compiler directives, etc.  It would be their choice 
to immediately support the ideal migration path that is currently 
described in 4408 (although I have a small issue with the parallel call 
idea, but that's a different issue), or leave the code ready but disable 
it for a TXT only query.  Lets think ahead here now (again), not later 
and begin to encourage DNS server developers/vendors, DNS Managerment 
Software folks, etc, to support unnamed types processing. [1]

Ted and I just had a discussion about this offline, and just as Ted did, 
you have misread what I wrote. I responded to Måns's suggestion that 
spfbis can not "prescribe TXT records". And I responded that existing 
features currently in use in SPF (of which the use of TXT is such a 
feature) are out of charter to remove. And they are.

The removal of the feature to use RR 99 was an option open to the WG if 
they determined that it was not on the forbidden list of "features 
currently in use". RFC 6686 and the discussion leading up to it document 
why it is, for all intents and purposes, unused.

> shouted down, as you are doing now.

A few things on this point:

1. There is no doubt that the removal of the feature to use RR 99 
engendered a protracted and contentious discussion. However, it was not 
specifically discussed before or during chartering as far as I can tell. 
I've looked through the IETF list, the IESG list, the DNSEXT list, and 
the SPFBIS list and I see nothing on this topic discussed prior to 
chartering. And importantly, I see not a single message from you in 
particular on this topic prior to this, and only a few messages in 
September of last year on any SPF topic.  So I'm not clear on what you 
mean by "some of us" having "spoken long and loud" about this topic 
before or during SPFBIS being chartered.

2. There is also no doubt that during the long discussion in February of 
last year on the SPFBIS list, many folks expressed the view that the 
feature ought not be removed, including by at least one chair of the WG. 
(In fact, that argument drove some of the research that ended up in RFC 
6686.) However, in the end, a consensus call was made that, although 
there were some outstanding objections, those concerns were sufficiently 
addressed *by reasoned technical argument* and that the consensus (with 
some roughness) was that the feature was to be removed. Though there may 
have been shouting at times, there was no "shouting down".

3. I do not intend, and hope I have not, "shouted down" any argument 
here. However, there is now a long record on this argument and how the 
consensus call was made. Though the chairs and I will review all 
discussion that comes out during Last Call (or now), it really is only 
polite for (if not incumbent on) those who might still have objections 
to do some research to see if their particular argument was not 
addressed in that lengthy discussion. My claim in my earlier message was 
(and remains) that it's going to take identifying some piece of 
information that was missed during that discussion to convince me that 
the consensus call was not correct. As I've said elsewhere, number of 
people saying something is not how consensus is judged; it's whether the 
issue itself was properly addressed. (See draft-resnick-on-consensus-02 
for my musings on that.) Coming to consensus is hard work, and it 
shouldn't just be hard work for chairs and ADs; participants have to do 
their part too.

In particular:

This is *not* a new argument. It was one that was discussed at length on 
the SPFBIS list at the end of last February. If you think we missed 
something (and I'd really ask you to read through the discussion of 
issue #9 on the list), I'd encourage you to make that case. But simply 
saying, "MUST publish/MUST query/later deprecate TXT" is not a 
sufficient technical argument given all that has been discussed to date.

> In short, the proponents of SPF (which by the way, I like and use) 
> should be focusing on doing the right thing here, instead of the 
> expedient thing.

If, after reading the discussion, you think SPFBIS was being superficial 
in its treatment of this topic and can identify an argument that was 
missed, fine. But your presumption that this was done simply for 
expedience is at the very least premature.

Yep, been there, done that. It was a bad decision then, and it's still a 
bad decision now. I realize that it's incredibly unpopular to bluntly 
call bad decisions "bad decisions," but not doing so doesn't make them 
any less bad. And, to make matters worse, not doing so has led to a 
non-trivial number of those bad decisions becoming de facto standards. 
This has at least 2 very bad side effects ... first, we have to live 
with the bad de facto standards; but more importantly we are providing 
encouragement to people who wish to make similar bad decisions down the 
road.

The argument in 6686 boils down to, "We made a series of bad decisions, 
which have led to a bad result. We now want to codify that bad result 
instead of cleaning up our mess." I don't agree with that in principle, 
and I don't agree with that in regards to this particular case.

Further, while cleaning up the SPF mess would require nothing more than 
a marginal amount of extra work now, plus the passage of time, there is 
no reason not to actually clean up the mess.

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg72024.html is 
where the thread starts. There is another parallel thread an a related 
topic around that same time.

With respect, you clearly haven't been paying attention. That thread on 
ietf@ (and the one you referenced on dnsext) took me about 2 minutes to 
find. Admittedly, the ietf@ thread wasn't specifically about SPF, but it 
was about the same exact topic, at the time that the spfbis charter was 
being developed, so one would think that interested parties would have 
wanted to pay attention.

The topic has been raised numerous times since day 1 of SPF, and the DNS 
folk who have said "the SPF RRtype should be the first (if not only) 
choice" have been consistently ignored.

Meanwhile, who said what when isn't the interesting part of the 
discussion. The questions are simple:

1. What is the right thing to do?
2. Can we do it?

We know the answer to 1, and the answer to 2 is yes. So why are we 
spending all of this time trying to find reasons not to do the right 
thing? If as much energy had gone into fixing the problem as has gone 
into justifying not fixing the problem, the problem would be fixed by 
now. :)

Yes, I know the history. It was a bad decision. The great thing about 
life, especially life in the IETF, is that bad decisions can be revisited.

Others see the problem differently, but let's not quibble on that point.

I'll give that a go, sure.

But what if all of the previous discussion was wrong? Simply saying "we 
have discussed this extensively" doesn't refute sound technical 
arguments either. :)

While I didn't follow the spfbis group, I have followed SPF from the 
time before it was even a topic at the IETF. Given what I know of the 
history I stand by my assertion, but would be overjoyed to be proven wrong.

Ok, so I've read through those threads, and the antecedents. I saw the 
following:

1. Some reports of people who wrote code to use the new RRtype early on, 
and had problems, so they stopped.

2. A report that Perl's "Mail::SPF (which is used by Spamassassin) 
checks for Type SPF first by default."

3. Several folks pointing out the valid DNS protocol based reasons why 
overloading TXT is bad, and new RRtypes for new features are good.

4. Lots of messages along the lines of, "We've always used TXT for this, 
so we should keep using it." These arguments all seem focused around the 
concept that having 2 ways to do the same thing is kind of a pain, so 
let's just use the one that is most popular.

5. Some fairly persuasive technical arguments from Andrew Sullivan that 
putting SPF records into your zone is a good idea. Particularly this:
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00544.html

#1 was an expected result in the days prior to 3597 (2003), but should 
be little to no trouble now.

#2 Speaks in favor of my proposal.

#3 (Arguably one of the only "reasoned technical arguments" in the 
bunch) seems to have been ignored by the majority of list members.

#4 Is not a "reasoned technical argument."

#5 Is also a "reasoned technical argument," which was not only ignored, 
but twisted on its ear by at least one list member.

It's also worth pointing out that a non-zero number of list members were 
ready (eager?) to shut down the SPF record prior to their being any 
actual discussion of it.

So I stand by my original proposal. We should do the right thing here, 
not the expedient thing. And the fact that a significant piece of 
software is already doing that, and clearly it works, is a pretty big 
point in favor.

Further, there were no "reasoned technical arguments" in that thread 
against doing what I proposed. As I mentioned in #4 above there was some 
whinging about having 2 ways to do the lookup, but as I pointed out 
previously if the switch had been flipped to do the SPF lookup first at 
some reasonable time post-3597, we'd be celebrating the deprecation of 
the TXT record right about now.

And further than _that_, Andrew and a few other list members pointed out 
that with a theoretical v=spf3 on the horizon, that would be a perfect 
time to say "Use the SPF record only, don't use TXT at all." Of course 
that whole line of thought was shot down with the same, "But we've 
always used TXT" argument. Which is unfortunate because I think that 
would have been an excellent compromise position, which has valid 
technical grounds.

The hardest thing is dealing with the naysayers.  The entire BS
that keeps getting repeated that getting a RR type is hard.  It
hasn't been hard for over a decade now.  Well before SPF needed to
make a decision about what type to use.

There is a type range for experimenting.  I used it for DLV
experimentation then got a DLV type allocated and moved the code
over to using it.  This worked.

Most of the delay was because the RFC Editor's expert reviewer
didn't get back to me on the initial request being rejected.  I
then went AD sponsered and had to convince the IESG that it wasn't
a run around of the dnsext wg which was about one additional email.
DLV is a method of publishing a set of trust anchors which was
expected to happen as far as DNSSEC was concerned.

Nobody is stating that there is no barrier.  Just that the barriers
are not as big as people keep stating they are.  If your DNS hoster
doesn't support a type in their web interface complain to them or
move to someone who does.  Generic support for new types is nearly
a decade old now.

If your IDS doesn't allow new types to come through get a new IDS
because the existing one is broken.  The expection of new types has
been part of the DNS from day one.  A IDS should be able to cope
with new types.

This is about consumers picking reasonable DNS products for their
needs.  This is about vendors that deal with DNS data doing the
right thing with respect to new types.  Yes, registrars are DNS
vendors.  So too are firewall vendors.

There are a lot of DNS vendors on this list that don't do the right
thing with respect to new DNS types.  ISC has changed our policy
for new types from the "next .0 release" to "next point release"
which reminds me we need to back port HIP and URI to 9.6.x

I am ok if anyone says that it a bad decision.  The thread for the 
discussion started at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00426.html

I was the document shepherd for RFC 6686.  There wasn't any comments 
during the Last Call.

I read the messages on that thread around the time they were posted.

I also read those messages.

I have to respectfully mention that I read all the messages that were 
posted to the SPFBIS mailing list.  I cannot take into consideration 
comments posted to ietf@ if they are not part of the Last Call.

If all the previous discussions were wrong I hope that the future 
discussions will be right. :-)

The SPFBIS WG Chairs are the persons making the determination for 
discussions within the working group.  I happen to be one of the 
SPFBIS WG co-chairs and the other co-chair is Andrew Sullivan.  I 
didn't ignore his comments.  I didn't ask Andrew Sullivan whether he 
ignored his comments.  If I misunderstood or misinterpreted his 
comments he would likely talk to me about that.  That makes it 
unlikely that any twisting would reach my ears. :-)

Note, I'm going to push back on some of the things you say below, but I 
don't want the main point I'm trying to make to get lost:

1. It's not too late to do the right thing,
2. So we should do that.

Arguing about how we got here is fun and all, but not germane to the 
really important bit.

There are only so many times that people can say "this is a bad idea," 
then get ignored, and then have enthusiasm to come back and say the same 
thing again. I didn't follow the pre-publication of 6686, as I had other 
things to do at the time. However the volume of previous discussion over 
the last 8+ years should have been sufficient to render the idea of 
deprecating the SPF RRtype a non-starter. The fact that the draft got 
written in the first place said a lot about the chances of any 
objections being considered.

I have to respectfully point out that a) there is a wider world beyond 
spfbis, and b) the reasoned technical arguments that were presented on 
the list (not to mention the running code) should have been sufficient 
to push the group in the direction of preferring the SPF RRtype with an 
eye toward deprecating TXT in the future.

I don't know why, specifically, that didn't happen; but I also don't care.

What I want to see happen is that we do the right thing now.

You must know a different set of DNS hosters than I do.  It's vanishingly
rare to find one that lets you insert random records via the provisioning
software.  You can go looking for ones you like, but good luck.  For the
vast majority of DNS users, it's a feature that they can't install random
crud, not a bug.

This is why I keep saying over and over again that it would be nice if we
made it easier for them to handle new RRTYPEs in a way that makes it 
harder to shoot yourself in the foor than allowing random hex strings.

R's,
John

John,

I realize that you have an agenda to push your idea, but for the sake of 
anyone new to this discussion who hasn't seen my response to this before:

1. Insert the ability into the interface to add freeform stuff
2. Run the equivalent of named-checkzone prior to committing the change
3. Profit!

Fixing the provisioning systems isn't hard to do, it's not even a 
complex problem. The issue is that for the most part service providers 
don't want to make ANY changes to existing stuff because it eats into 
their profits. That's understandable, but if we're going to give in to 
that then the answer is "no new RRtypes ever," which is not acceptable.

So can we please stop trotting out the provisioning system argument? 
Mark is right, new RRtypes aren't hard to deal with. I've made the point 
previously that things like DNSSEC and AAAA have long-since "cracked the 
ice" on the old "fire and forget" method of DNS software deployment, and 
every day that goes by brings new and exciting developments in the DNS 
world. That doesn't mean that deploying new stuff is "easy," just that 
it's a lot easier than it used to be, gets easier every day, and there 
is market pressure to keep making it get easier as we go along.

Doug

And it's not like example code to do this for individual RRs doesn't
exist.  It would be about 10 minutes work to take this existing
test code and make it into a application that returns 0 or 1 for
the exit code.

It would still need a man page, test suite for the application
itself to be written, etc. but overall not a big deal.  One could
even make it spit out the records in unknown format if you were
worried about having to upgrade the nameserver quickly.

I think this continues to trivialize exactly what it means to migrate the
enormous deployed base of SPF in the manner you're pushing. I fully agree
with your premise that it should've been "done right" in the beginning and
I lament that it was not, but I don't agree that fixing this now is worth
moving a mountain, especially when I don't believe the people saying that
here will be among the people doing even a fraction of the moving.

At least half of the reason we landed here is because of an environment
that was basically hostile to doing it right in the first place.  The rules
for getting new RRtypes have been improved -- I think we all agree on that
-- but, as you already conceded, there's still a large deployed base of
faulty firewalls and DNS tools out there that don't exactly make use of
uncommon RRtypes easy.  So how much energy are the DNS experts going to put
into cleaning up their house while demanding the mail people clean up
theirs?  I would even go so far as to say that the DNS part has to happen
first, before any cleanup on the email side is practical to consider.

The deployed SPF base probably won't give a damn if the IETF suddenly
releases an RFC that exclaims "Everybody migrate to type 99!"  From the
perspective of large and small operators around the world, what's out there
is working now, and messing with it is asking for pain; engineers' time to
switch and debug costs a lot of money, so they have no incentive whatsoever
to comply with a proposed change to "fix" a service that is philosophically
broken but operationally just fine.

Thus, I maintain that we take our licks on this one and just take steps to
ensure that nobody follows this path again.

No, this won't work with provisioning systems in the real world, that
have to be usable by people who are not DNS weenies, and work in
systems where the software upgrade cycle is months or years, not days.

There are real reasons that seven years after RFC 4408, most
provisioning systems still don't handle type 99 records, and it's not
because everyone who does e-mail is stupid.

No need to respond, you've made your point, although it may not be
what you thought it was.

R's,

It just money.  Really that is the only reason at this point.  They
won't spend a cent to make their systems updatable or they want to
charge extra for supporting type 99 records.

One can upgrade components of a system.  Nameservers are regularly
upgraded independently on the rest of the system.  Similarly
other tools are regularly upgraded.

Once again, I know that you want to promote your solution for this 
problem. That's fine, but that doesn't mean that it's the only solution, 
or even the best one. What I proposed would work "forever." There is no 
doubt that it requires more DNS knowledge, but most non-experts entering 
"special" or "custom" DNS are doing cut and paste anyway.

Um, that's pretty much non-sequitur.

Yep, a lot of that going around. :)

Doug,

To be fair, a significant barrier was the Windows corporate environment =
translating DNS to RPC with a limited template set.  As it turns out, =
use of the SPF protocol at the MUA is fairly limited.  While overlaying =
TXT RR is bad, these also offer policy for any domain or subdomain.  =
Some may simply wildcard TXT records and create problems for other =
protocols using these records.  One of the original motivations for =
overlaying TXT was to permit wildcard use.

IMHO, the high overhead associated with the SPF scheme as IPv6 is =
deployed seems to ensure a more scalable and safer cryptograph scheme is =
a likely replacement using standard RRs.  Nothing needed for IPv6 is =
really being solved using SPF or DKIM.  Currently DKIM is easily spoofed =
just as Hector demonstrated many years ago.  Few providers are willing =
to discard based upon SPF failures, but limit use to vetting NDNs.  Many =
providers unwilling to run macro expansions should have cause this =
dangerous scheme to have been discarded long before the type 99 resource =
allocation based upon the same sort of justifications.=20

I actually find this situation a bit amusing.  Not being a follower of =

As I said, standard chicken-or-egg.  Why should a provisioning system =

anything other than TXT?  Why should anyone ask for their provisioning =
system to support anything other than TXT since using TXT appears to =

Of course, using TXT has all sorts of downsides, but few if any of those =

with that said, I fully support moving forward with dnsextlang.

Nope. CloudFlare.

It's not BS. Getting new RRtypes is easier than it used to be (in =

The type code is allocated.  Code supporting EUI48 and EUI64 has
shipped.  BIND 9.6, 9.8 and 9.9 all support EUI48 and EUI64.  The
rest is bikeshedding.

Did I really come across as that petty?

No, what I'm saying is that the way things were ten years ago pushed the
SPF community to the place it's in now, ugly as it is.  SPF, in the
interim, has become very widely deployed.  Suddenly now we have a few
voices from the ivory tower asserting that the same community needs to go
out and re-do things the way they should have been done in the first place,
now that we finally have a somewhat more reasonable perspective, even
though some of the vestiges of ten years ago are in fact still around.  My
reaction to that is "You can't be serious."  That doesn't sound like
revenge at all to me, just pragmatism.

I think it's much closer to the former.

Someone else (Joe, I think) has already referred to other RFCs that talk
about things like IAB advice about how [not] to put application data into
the DNS.  Seems to me this is a perfectly good subject for another such
project.  One may counter that by saying nobody will pay attention to such
a document, but I submit that it's our primary mechanism for making sure
mistakes aren't re-made, so that's the tool we have to use or not use.

If we do the opposite and somehow compel SPFBIS to favour type 99 over TXT,
then I still think we'll be shouting that to an audience that will think
we're nuts and simply go about their business.

> It's not BS. Getting new RRtypes is easier than it used to be (in principle) but it is not easy.  Or at least, this WG creates the perception that it is not easy. Witness the recent pushback and BS around Joe's EUI{48,64} RRtypes. BWT, this was AFTER the RRtype Allocation Policy of RFC6895 had been followed and IANA had issued the type codes. That resistance from this WG -- "I'm in favour of liberalising type code assignments, but..." -- was not an isolated event.
Well realistically, the WG is closing down so work that would involve 
draft(s) being accepted and processed would occur elsewhere.

I brought the  discussion here, when considering whether to AD sponsor 
the draft because there is a critical mass of knowledge here that is 
useful for providing feedback.

There was useful criticism that lead to the draft being revised...

There was also criticism of the codepoint assignment that's all well and 
good. but this wg isn't in the code point assignment path so that's not 
germain.

There is criticism that there are better ways to do this. (I'm sure 
there are) that's fine, good enough should not be our enemy. were this 
not to achieve the required consensus  I see not reason why the IESG 
would prevent and indepedent stream documentation of the codepoint 
assignment.


It's disappointing but not surprising if others take the path of least resistance and go with a TXT record and avoid the hassle of the RFC6895 template and expert review. Not because that process is defective, but because the BS that tends to surface on this list. Having been on the receiving end of that treatment, I would think long and hard about coming to the IETF with a request for a new RRtype code instead of doing the "wrong" thing by following the herd and overloading the TXT record. Or just plucking a number from the reserved for private use range and hoping nobody else picks the same one.

I think we can demonstrate that RFC6895 assignment process is less 
onerous than the mailing list discussion.

The installed base of SPF is miniscule.  As for moving it, you
really only need to update a couple MTA's to use the SPF libraries
that look for SPF first and let time pass.

If you want a hurry on one could add code to nameservers and zone
signers to detected TXT style spf records and add SPF records if
they are missing.

The rules were dead simple at the time, just nobody in the SPF camp
was willing to try to go down that route.  I know they were simple
because I used them at the time for another type.

The DNS had deployed support for UNKNOWN RR types at the time.  Most
resolvers have been able to lookup unknown types since RFC 1034 was
published.  For most resolvers it was simply a matter of using 99
rather than a symbolic name.

Indeed. My point is/was that the bikeshedding and other showboating in =
this WG create the perception that getting type codes is hard.

When the work started nobody knew what to do.  The following comment 
was made around a year ago:

   "the IESG would simply like to see the SPF *and* Sender-ID 
experiments wrapped
    up, and presumes that the charter is correct and the outcome of 
the experiment
    leads one to conclude that SPF should get advanced to Proposed Standard and
    Sender-ID should not".

In easy terms, it would be good to have a conclusion to those 
experiments.  There was an assumption, i.e. SPF would get 
advanced.  My guess (not technically sound) was that there was a 
higher chance of that happening (e.g. see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00355.html 
).  There is a short discussion predating Issue #9 
(see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00329.html 
).  Philip Gladstone provided some data (see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00354.html 
).  Issue #9 was opened based on the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00361.html 
draft-kucherawy-spfbis-experiment was posted after that (see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00405.html 
).  There were comments mentioning the ietf@ discussion ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00789.html ).

Anyway, the working group decision about the protocol aspect was made 
based on the analysis.  The question of whether to obsolete the SPF 
RRTYPE or not is an administrative issue.  That is why it is in the 
IANA Considerations Section of draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-14.  I am ok 
with whatever the IETF decides about that.

There are several intermingled issues.  If I understood correctly the 
main issue is which DNS RR to use to publish SPF information in the 
DNS.  I suggest discussing about that during the Last Call for 
draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis.

I am aware of that. :-)  There isn't much I can do about it.  My task 
was to give due consideration to all the arguments that were 
presented on this mailing list.  Technical arguments are obviously 
more compelling.

If there are any new arguments which have been missed please let me 
know as I can include them in my write-up.  If the argument is solely 
"do the right thing" I will decline including it in the write-up as 
it is, in my individual opinion, non-technical.  I cannot comment on 
what arguments should be provided as I will then be biasing the outcome.

<no hat>

I think that if you want to get a document through the IETF, and you say "o=
h, but I don't want to do that bit, because it's too hard," then you are re=
ally being unreasonable.   During the worst period of "new RRtype resistanc=
e" about a decade ago, I and several others managed to get a new RRtype thr=
ough the intarea DNS working group.   We did get yelled at, but we persiste=
d, and we got the result we wanted.

This is how the IETF works.   You are watching sausage being made: it isn't=
 pretty.   No amount of public shaming is going to change this: the current=
 conversation is an existence proof, since this sort of shaming has been go=
ing on as long as I've been participating, and the mailing list still has t=
hreads like the EUI64 thread.   This is what it means to say anyone can par=
ticipate.

If you want to get work through the IETF, you have to be brave, because you=
 will=97you must=97draw criticism.   And you don't get to say "I want to ge=
t my work through the IETF, but I'd like to skip that bit of the process be=
cause those guys are hard to deal with, please."

All of this is completely independent of the debate that's going on here ab=
out SPF; my point is simply that if you aren't willing to engage in debate =
in the IETF, you are probably in the wrong IETF.=

I am speaking here as an individual and as an operator.

That's preposterously naive.  Step 2.1 is "Find that customer who has
no theory of the mystifying DNS arcana screwed it up, so you can't
publish, and now you have to contact a human.  Stop.  Invoke expensive
off-page customer service process."  In some significant number of
cases, we never get to step 3.  In the DNS business, the margins are
small.  

This list -- and indeed, much of the IETF, as is often lamented -- is
heavily populated by people who either are not operators or else are
not consumer-facing operators, though there are notable exceptions.
It sseems at least possible that this introduces a bias of ignoring
problems that others report (or that are observable in deployment)
because they're not the problems of the people who happen to be here.

I have to agree with John Levine that the usual answer of the DNS
community to provisioning problems -- in caricature, "This is easy,
you must be morons."  -- is not helpful, and is indicative of a closed
mindedness that is unbecoming.  Maybe, just maybe, the people out
there who are successfully operating systems at some scale have
something to teach us about the real barriers to the things we think
would be ideal.  We dismiss those observations not at our peril, but
at the peril of the DNS (and Internet).

The proper answer is "This ought to be easy, and usually is,
but half-assed implementations that are in conflict with both letter
and intent of the DNS standards and culture make it unnecessarily hard,

I undertook the exercise of reading this thread, and it looks like there wa=

at which a consensus was determined; I presume that happened later, on some=
 other thread.

FWIW, and I do not intend this as a criticism of what you did, I just went =
back to the datatracker and looked at the text of the IETF last call.   The=
re is nothing at all in this text that would indicate that the document sai=
d anything at all about the continued use of the SPF DNS RRtype.   I've als=
o read the document, and even reading the conclusion of the document, there=
's very little there that would suggest to me that the spfbis working group=
 was about to deprecate the use of the SPF DNS RRtype.

Of course someone who was already involved in the discussion on the mailing=
 list would know this, but there's no reason to think that anyone reading t=
he dnsext mailing list would have felt it was their duty to review this par=
ticular document during the IETF last call, and if they had reviewed it, th=
ey might still have remained innocent of any understanding that spfbis inte=
nded to deprecate the SPF RRtype in favor of the TXT record.

> If there are any new arguments which have been missed please let me know =
as I can include them in my write-up.  If the argument is solely "do the ri=
ght thing" I will decline including it in the write-up as it is, in my indi=
vidual opinion, non-technical.  I cannot comment on what arguments should b=
e provided as I will then be biasing the outcome.

<still no hat>
It seems to me that the argument in favor of deprecating SPF is that nobody=
 is publishing SPF records, despite widespread support in software.   This =
results in unnecessary traffic, the elimination of which would have minimal=
 impact.

On the other side, here are the arguments that I understand to have been ma=
de:

1. TXT records are not specific to SPF, thus we can't assume that any given=
 TXT record is an SPF record.
Rejoinder: doesn't seem to be an issue in practice=97no other TXT records a=
re needed on the names to which SPF TXT records are typically attached.

2. Because TXT records aren't specific to SPF, a query for TXT records may =
return an unexpectedly large result set, requiring fallback to TCP.
Rejoinder: doesn't seem to be an issue in practice.

3. Using TXT records is a bad idea.
Rejoinder: this isn't really a technical argument; if there is a technical =
argument in here, it should be stated explicitly, but this argument per se =
will be ignored.

4. Using TXT records sets a bad precedent.
Rejoinder: the horse is already out of the barn.

I think there's one possible benefit to be considered for using TXT records=
 for SPF: it gets in the way of other uses of TXT records, and acts as a so=
und technical argument against adoption of TXT records on bare names in fut=
ure protocols.

Speaking entirely with my AD hat off, and merely as an armchair quarterback=
, I don't think it's fair to say that the consensus call in spfbis on what =
was to become RFC6686 and the IETF consensus call on that document, taken t=
ogether, represent IETF consensus.   I don't think the rejoinders to argume=
nts 1 and 2 are very convincing, although they seem to have carried the day=
 in the spfbis working group, and I understand why.

The reason I reacted the way I did when drc brought this up is that it was =
a surprise to me that spfbis was eliminating the SPF record from the specif=
ication.   It is not surprising that it was a surprise=97the process that w=
as followed, which I think was followed correctly and with the best intenti=
ons, did not really have much chance of bringing this decision to my attent=
ion while it was being discussed in spfbis.

Having reviewed the discussion in spfbis, and argued with this at length wi=
th Pete, I am remarkably ambivalent about it.   I don't like the decision t=
he spfbis working group has made.  I don't agree with the decision.  I unde=
rstand why you made it, and don't fault you for having made it.   It's prob=
ably not worth my personal time to dispute it.

I would rather work to hasten the demise of SMTP and all the anti-spam klud=
ges that rode in on it.

<ad hat on>
So, what do I think could have gone better here?   First, it would have bee=
n very helpful if the abstract for RFC 6686 had said that the reason the re=
search was being done was to answer the question "should we continue suppor=
ting the SPF RRtype, or drop it?"   Authors of drafts that are trying to ad=
dress issues like this might want to think carefully about how they write a=
bstracts, since it's only the abstract that gets shown in the IETF last cal=
l message.   If your abstract doesn't attract the people who ought to be re=
ading the document, it's going to be hard later to argue that the document =
had a clear IETF consensus, even though it nominally has consensus.

It may be that using the document abstract in the last call announcement is=
 not sufficient=97if authors phrased the abstract the way I've suggested, i=
t might be the wrong thing for the document once it's published.   I don't =
know the answer to this=97it might also be the right thing.

I think it's clear that early in this discussion, all present, including th=
e responsible AD, were aware that it was going to be contentious.   I think=
 if a message like the one drc sent to the mailing list yesterday had gone =
out in February of 2012, you would have gotten the exact same response.   T=
his probably would have created additional hassle on the spfbis mailing lis=
t as a bunch of dnsext people dogpiled there, but we wouldn't be having _th=
is_ conversation _now_, so it actually would have been better, despite the =
short-term hassle.

Andrew did raise this issue to the dnsop working group; he didn't mention r=
aising it on dnsext.   I don't remember seeing it on the dnsop mailing list=
, and I'm not finding it in the archive; I don't see it in the minutes eith=
er.   This doesn't mean it isn't there; it just means that it didn't stand =
out the way drc's message did.   This ought to be a valuable lesson for wor=
king group chairs; if you know something is going to be contentious, rip th=
e bandaid off=97don't be quiet about it.   Make sure the people who you kno=
w are going to kick up a fuss do it at the right time.   I know Andrew didn=
't intend to not rip off this bandaid, so I'm not sure how this failed to h=
appen, but it's something to think about.

The responsible AD also knew this was going to be contentious (I think!).  =
 I don't know if he talked this over with Ralph (who was then the responsib=
le AD for dnsext) or not.   If he did, that was the right thing to do, and =
it's worth considering why it didn't work.   If he didn't, this might be a =
lesson to remember for the future.   Same thing should have happened with t=
he responsible AD for dnsop; I don't know who that was.

Of course, ADs don't always know that what's being raised in the working gr=
oup is going to be contentious in other areas.   Working group chairs need =
to be proactive about this.   ADs can definitely be a resource in spreading=
 the word, though, whether they do it on their own or at the request of wor=
king group chairs.   And of course working group chairs may not always know=
 that something will be contentious, but there's nothing we can do about th=
at case other than live with the late surprise.
</hat>

I hasten to emphasize that I don't really know what went wrong here.   It m=
ay be that even if all the remedies I've discussed above had happened, we'd=
 still be having a big kerfuffle about this on the dnsext mailing list.   M=
y motivation for suggesting that more could have been done is simply my exp=
erience as a participant: I really think I would have participated in the d=
iscussion about this if I'd realized it was happening last February.  I get=
 the impression from several other participants in the discussion now that =
they weren't aware of it either.   I don't have a sense of whether the disc=
ussion would have come out differently if we'd participated.

<hat>
As for how to participate now, the right thing to do for people who feel th=
ey were left out of the discussion before is to read the draft, read the hi=
storical discussion (to which pointers have already been given) and then pa=
rticipate constructively on the spfbis working group mailing list.

"Tromping" on this in IETF last call would not be constructive given that i=
t has not passed a working group last call.  I'm sorry for having suggested=
 that=97I understood the document to have already passed WGLC, and stupidly=
 didn't go check to see if my impression was correct.
</hat>

And, by the way, internet dating is quite a lucrative industry, so it's pro=
bably a bad example of a hopeless task.   :)

Argh.   I can't say anything right, apparently.   What I mean here is that =

RFC6686 never set out to make a conclusion about the RRtype question, but
rather to determine which of the four protocols MARID discussed appear to
have enough traction to warrant advancement along the standards track, thus
concluding "the experiment".  Accordingly, the abstract for that document
doesn't say anything about this matter.

In the process of collecting data to answer that question, we realized that
the numbers also highlight the non-use of type 99 by both senders and
receivers.  We were very careful in our wording of RFC6686 to point out
that type 99, though supported both in protocol and software, is actually
not very useful, and said nothing at all about what we planned to do with
it.  RFC6686 provides supporting evidence for what the main spfbis draft is
doing, but does not itself introduce those actions.

I don't think there was process breakage here.

That's not the complete argument I and others have been making.  Widespread
support in DNS software and SPF libraries exists, but there are also
existing components of the infrastructure that interfere with either
publication or handling of type 99 queries and replies, long after the type
was assigned.  RFC6686 calls this out.  The rejoinder we're hearing to this
is merely the gainsay of that position despite both anecdotal and empirical
evidence to the contrary.

Moreover, parsing TXT records is not hard, nor is answering the question
"Does this one start with the string 'v=3Dspf1'?".  We saw one case in our
survey of a zone that had 37 TXT records at the same query point; SPF code
is able to pull out the applicable one just fine.

That's not correct; there are still packet filters out there configured by
default to disallow TCP over port 53.  We discovered this during the
RFC6686 surveys.

This is pretty rare but not nonexistent.

If anyone cares, we have some names that test resolver->authority path =
for truncation, and client->resolver path for proper truncation support.

The sense in which I mean that with respect to RFC 6686 is that several peo=

That's not the complete argument I and others have been making.  Widespread=

OK.   But presumably these parts of the internet are going to start really =

t _seem_ like a long-term concern.   What am I missing?

On the other side, here are the arguments that I understand to have been ma=

1. TXT records are not specific to SPF, thus we can't assume that any given=
 TXT record is an SPF record.
Rejoinder: doesn't seem to be an issue in practice=97no other TXT records a=

Moreover, parsing TXT records is not hard, nor is answering the question "D=

Sure, and a base-64 encoded string will never have an equals sign in that p=
osition, so we don't have to worry too much about a random collision.

  We saw one case in our survey of a zone that had 37 TXT records at the sa=
me query point; SPF code is able to pull out the applicable one just fine.




2. Because TXT records aren't specific to SPF, a query for TXT records may =
return an unexpectedly large result set, requiring fallback to TCP.
Rejoinder: doesn't seem to be an issue in practice.

That's not correct; there are still packet filters out there configured by =

These two points taken together seem like a pretty strong argument in favor=
 of _not_ deprecating the SPF record; in this case, only the SPF record wou=

Yeah, we don't. =20

IF the string is random, thats a 1 in 2^36 chance.  Yawn.

And if the string is "malicious" and deliberately constructed to be a =
bad record starting with v=3Dspf1, it only screws up the domain owner's =

If you want DNSSEC, you got to fix THAT problem anyway.

As Murray's already responded, the intent of the document that became
RFC 6686 was simply to report on the SPF/Sender-ID experiment.  That
document never meant to recommend a specific course, and didn't -- so
any cross-area review of that document wouldn't have been likely to
raise this discussion, and no text in that document relating to this
issue would have been appropriate.

That said, there is a general need for chairs, shepherds, and
responsible ADs to be aware of these sorts of things.
Chairs/shepherds need to make sure something about them gets put into
shepherd writeups, at least, and ideally gets sent out to relevant
lists earlier.  Best I can tell, there *was* a discussion of this
earlier, but it didn't get this level of attention.

It would also be good for ADs to put things into the last call
notices, pointing out things that participants in other areas might
want to look at.  We don't have a habit of doing that, and we should.
Even something like, "This specification involves aspects of
[technology X] and [technology Y]; experts in those technologies
should pay particular attention and provide reviews and comments,"
might make a big difference.

Right: the underscore-prefix technique has been vetted before, and as
far as I can tell this issue and its variants are settled.

Actually, I don't agree that it's not a technical argument.  The
second part of that sentence is operative, and I want to drill down on
that: if there's a technical argument in here, let's tease out what it
is.

We really have two issues that really seem to matter here:

1. Should we be working on a transition to type=3D99 only, rather than
deprecating type=3D99?

2. Claim (quoting M=E5ns here): overloading TXT is bad.

(1) is being adequately argued back and forth; I want to focus on (2):

Why, specifically, is it bad to use TXT records in an "_spf."
subdomain for this purpose?  What harm does it cause, specifically.
Let's bring that out clearly, and have that part of the discussion,
realizing that some possible arguments already have answers:

- It's not hard to parse these; there are many parsers out there that
work, and there are many text-based protocols that work.

- The "_spf." subdomain eliminates the issue of multi-use collisions
-- DKIM queries, for example, will go to "_dkim." subdomains, and
won't see SPF records in the responses.

What other issues does the use of TXT records in this context cause,
which would make it clear that migration away from them in SPF is
important to avoid damage to the Internet, or at least to the DNS
system?

Wrong question.  The correct question is "is the use of _spf bad?".

Using a prefix constrains where the solution can be used.  It won't
work with wildcards.  It won't work for all domains.

There are actually several threads about the=20
issue of which RRTYPE to use.  The discussions=20
also occurred on unrelated threads.  There was an=20
intermediate conclusion (see=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00594.html=20
) which was followed by an objection (see=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00658.html=20
).  The SPFBIS WG Chairs posted a message after=20
that (=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00692.html=20
) which I'll quote partially:

   "There appears to be a wide variety of opinion about Issue #9. Moreover,
    the discussion has revealed an=20
interoperability concern in the existing RFC."

There was the IETF 83 session (see Item C in the=20
minutes) after that where the SPFBIS Chairs stated the following:

   "The conclusion reached by the Chair was that the document will
    say SHOULD NOT publish RRTYPE 99 and MUST NOT query RRTYPE 99."

For what it is worth I edited the minutes by=20
listening to the audio recording.  Two drafts of=20
the minutes were posted to the SPFBIS mailing=20
list (see=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01369.html=20
and=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01419.html=20
).  As there wasn't any objection I considered the issue as resolved.

Let's not worry about that and focus on understanding what happened. :-)

Here's an extract from the write-up:

  "The discussions about the RRTYPE 99 DNS Resource Record were=
 controversial.
   The issue was resolved.  There was consensus that Sender ID re-use of
   SPF DNS Resource Records does not have to be called out in the document."

I'll highlight one of the points from Section 6 of RFC 6686:

  "2.  The absence of significant adoption of the RRTYPE 99 DNS Resource
        Record suggests that it has not attracted enough support to be
        useful."

There is some background information about the=20
RRTYPE in Appendix A of RFC 6686.

I agree that the document or even the write-up=20
may not be clear.  I left it to Pete Resnick to=20
translate for the IESG. :-)  I'll describe the=20
working group climate as unfriendly.  It was=20
surprising that was even consensus.

I expected some people from DNSEXT to raise an=20
issue during the Last Call.  There was some text=20
in it which was like asking for trouble.  I'll=20
refrain from commenting about DNSEXT reviews.

It's debatable.  I would have to read the=20

At the end of the day a decision has to be=20
taken.  It may not be the right decision.  There=20
are safeguards in the process if that is the=20
case.  I don't mind if anyone disputes the=20
decision.  There has been an appeal (see=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg02167.html=20
).  It's part of the work.

In the write-up I am supposed to mention whether=20

With hindsight I'll say that it would have been good to have the discussion.

The discussion would have been more=20
controversial.  As a rough guess I would say that=20
the Last Call did not work as expected.  Some of=20
the reasons for that are mentioned in the (quoted) text above.

I might ask the Responsible AD to recharter this=20

In my view, the DKIM decision was entirely based on the fact SPF was 
getting a huge traction and adoption as a TXT solution.  So why not for 
DKIM? It worked for SPF!

We should also note the mindset were among the same authors for 
protocols that are now entirely TXT:

    SPF    - 99/TXT, Levine against SPF, Murray wasn't around MARID
    DKIM   - TXT only, Murray authored
    VBR    - TXT only, Levine authored
    DMARK  - TXT only, and now a new I-D by Murray
    SPFBIS - TXT only, Murray started SPFBIS.

So we don't have too much "diversity" on the design.

SPF goal is still the same design goal for SPF type. The problem are the 
DNS servers. Getting Microsoft DNS servers to support unnamed RRTYPE 
processing at the very least will immediately change the course of the 
RRTYPE needs in the right direction.

Its a different problem in the same way AUTH-RES isn't ready for prime 
time with SPF - an errata is needed and people need to change their 
Received-SPF reporting.  In the mean time, in the name of across the 
board coding and single-sourcing, you support both even if the AUTH-RES 
support needs to be done with a kludge comment field.   Its the same 
with DMARC design pressures, it "works" better when MTA does the SPF 
processing at the 5322 Payload level (DATA state) or you accept the 
message then do the above tests and it may bounce or perhaps, hopefully 
not, discard:

             SPF FAIL POLICY === DKIM/ADSP DISCARD POLICY

Ideally, if we are going to stick with TXT based solutions and to better 
support integrated systems (ones that may support all of the above, it 
will be at least 4 DNS TXT queries), then we explore a direct solution 
of a single call to return all the sender information one may need 
about, including the message owner and copyright holder domain.

Yup. And even many of the ones that *do* support type 99 don't allow =
adding arbitrary types.
I use GoDaddy as a registrar (never underestimate the power of apathy =
:-)). I just changed a test domain to use their hosted DNS solution.

I can add any of the following though the web interface:
A (Host)
CNAME (Alias)
MX (Mail Exchanger)
TXT (Text)
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
SRV (Service)
AAAA (IPv6 Host)
NS (Nameserver)

(I wasn't actually expecting them to support SPF, but they do (and even =
have a reasonable interface for it). Pleasant, if pointless,  surprise).

But, there is no way (that I've found) to add other record types (like =
TLSA or SSHFP or=85). [There was some "Premium DNS" option that I didn't =
try (see the apathy comment) -- maybe it does it?]


There is an "Export.." and "Import=85" option. Lets try that=85
Export the current zone file...
Add "test    3600   IN       TYPE65530  \# 1 ( 42 )"
Click Import. Fails with "Invalid file". Ok, maybe something a little =
less unusual=85

Try SSHFP. No love.
Try TLSA. No love.

I get why they don't allow arbitrary types (it costs a little more, very =
few of their customers need it, there is some (small) security risk, =
some customer will enter "Bob" in a type-17 record and then wonder why =
Bob isn't suddenly responsible, etc), but it does make me sad=85

Unfortunately I don't really see a way to change this -- most registrars =
are incentivized to provide what the majority of the customers want for =
the minimum cost. My auntie won't choose a different registrar because =
her current one doesn't support NAPTR=85

(It looks like Dyn may support arbitrary record types =
(http://dyn.com/support/record-types-standard-dns/), but I'm not 100% =
sure. See the apathy comment again)

There CAN be a zone cut between the SPF record and the MX, which in turn =
might have impact on trust related to DNSSEC.

I have no idea on the implications, but I do not see it being examined.

Careful, that's dangerously close to ad hominem. :)

No, you don't. You write the documentation in advance about how the 
known type codes work, and when the thing fails you send them to a page 
that says, "I think you meant to do 'this' which should look like 
'that.' If that's not what you wanted, go 'here' which has a big list o' 
DNS records and their proper format."

Not to throw resumes around or anything, but I used to be in that 
business. I've written management platforms for DNS. When I left Yahoo! 
we had over 600,000 domains in our registrar-reseller business. My 
current business is enterprise DNS/DHCP/IPAM management solutions. Prior 
to that I was working for a company that does hosted solutions for mom 
and pop's all the way up to major e-commerce sites.

I'm not talking out of my ass here, I'm explaining that there is a real 
solution to this problem. The real issue (as you point out below) is 
that it isn't free, in either sense (speech or beer).

Thank you for confirming the real problem, which as I have pointed out 
in the past, is that the operators, especially hosting providers that 
cater to naive users, don't want to make ANY changes because it costs 
money on both the front and the back ends.

I'm not close-minded, and I'm not naive. I'm also not willing to allow 
all progress on new DNS type codes to be held hostage to providers 
unwilling to invest in their own infrastructure.

Nope, we don't.  

Last I checked, also, GoDaddy actually _published_ the SPF records you
send them as a TXT, but I haven't checked recently.  

That's what Dyn tells you to do in the "Standard DNS" product.  Our
enterprise product (DynECT DNS) offers the TYPE 99, partly because that
product involves access to our concierge people, who can help you out
when things go wrong.  The low-price Standard offering is only possible
to offer if our support costs are kept low, which means "no
hand-holding".  Because we're interested in a good customer
experience, we have to be conservative about what we offer.

Best,

A

I think it's mostly harmless, but it's not what 4408bis does.

Uncharitable interpretation of the current situation could come to that 
conclusion.

As I (and others) have said many times, things were rough at the time 
SPF came to bloom. However, and this is really important to understand, 
it's not 10 years ago anymore.

I'm not being petty when I say that. It really is important to 
understand, the time is going to pass anyway. In the time period between 
then and now a LOT of things have happened in the DNS world, and the 
situation is dramatically different now than it was.

What is even more important to understand is that 10 years from now 10 
more years will have passed. We have a chance now to set in motion 
events that will continue to improve the situation, so that 10 years 
from now we can look back and laugh at the SPF TXT record, and have joy 
that things are so much better. Or, we can spend 10 more years with the 
same silly kludge, and not have made any progress at all. Either way, 
the next 10 years are going to pass.

And some of the software that handles SPF has already switched to 
querying SPF/99 first. There is no reason that the rest could not do 
that as well. Then by the time that the next version of SPF is released, 
it can be all SPF/99, and no TXT. Eventually the TXT record will die out 
altogether.

As I have mentioned previously, in the DNS world we have a LOT of 
experience dealing with issues EXACTLY like this. We know how it works, 
we know what long tails look like, and we know that as problems go it's 
a pretty easy problem to deal with.

Um, it's not "suddenly." The advice to do it right in the first place 
has been offered repeatedly, since the very beginning. That's why the 
code point was assigned in the first place.

There is no doubt that in the early days, prior to the widespread 
deployment of 3597, querying for SPF/99 could cause problems. But we're 
not in that world anymore. Thank DNSSEC and IPv6 for shaking things 
loose. There is currently no TECHNICAL reason that the change cannot be 
made NOW to query SPF/99 first. The only argument you (and others) have 
put forward so far is, "We have been using TXT, it works, so we want to 
keep using it." I understand why that course of action is attractive, 
but it's bad. And the right thing isn't hard to do.

But this mistake isn't carved in stone. It CAN be fixed. And the 
solution isn't difficult. Some minor changes are made to software, some 
docs are updated, and then time passes and the old way becomes obsolete.

If that happens (and I personally don't think it will), it's not the 
IETF's problem. We don't (traditionally) write specs to accommodate the 
worst behavior we see in implementations. We write specs to describe how 
it should be done right, and do our best to support people who want to 
write software that does it right.

And I should emphasize again, "Mail::SPF (which is used by Spamassassin) 
checks for Type SPF first by default." So there is already a non-trivial 
implementation that is doing it right. The number of other 
implementations that need to be updated is not very large. Another case 
mentioned in the spfbis thread on "issue #9" was the python lib for spf, 
which already has the code to query SPF/99. It would be a 30 minute job 
to update that to query 99 first.

So if I'm missing some TECHNICAL reasons why this proposal isn't 
feasible, please enlighten me. But all I've seen so far is, "We don't 
want to do it," which I don't find particularly compelling.

Doug

Dear DNSEXT,

For all of the really interesting side discussions that have developed 
since SM sent this initial query, I believe there have not been any 
responses that answered the question that was asked.

DNSEXT was asked to provide expert review of this specific bit of text. 
  The text is intended to be comparable to the way that some other, 
similar situations have already been handled.

>Well, deprecating the SPF RR will certainly teach the DNSEXT/IESG/IETF community a good lesson.  (Seriously?)

This may come as a surprise, but this isn't all about you.  

The spfbis group is cleaning up a protocol that is in use at hundreds
of thousands of mail systems all over the world including most,
probably all, of the largest ones.  For all its warts, SPF works fine
as is, and they have no incentive to change.  Hence the narrow charter
of the group only to clean up the existing spec, not to extend or
change it.

I go to a industry meetings like MAAWG with all of the large mail
operators, and I can assure you that if the IETF were so silly as to
publish an spfbis that demanded a switch to type 99, the large mail
systems would say, wow, that was dumb, I guess we'll be looking for
mail standards somewhere else.

Provide the tools and processes so that people can use new RRTYPEs in
new designs.  (Insert usual point about provisioning.)

Don't shoot yourself in the foot by demanding that we break one that's
a decade old and likely in wider use than 95% of all of the other IETF
protocols.

John

I am keenly aware of the date.  What I am also keenly aware of, as I (and
others) have said many times, is that SPF set off in a specific direction
based on the situation ten years ago and has continued in that direction
all this time.  Now, with the situation "at home"
largely-but-not-completely improved, there are a few people now exclaiming
that it went in the wrong direction, and that needs to be fixed.

It's very easy to make that assertion when one ignores questions of
momentum and inertia.

Sure.  Is that a good use of engineering resources?  This is where we
appear to differ.  I claim, given current data, that it is not.

I agree with the first sentence, but not the second.

This situation touches more than just DNS code.  You appear to be convinced
that the path to overcoming inertia in the DNS world is the same, or maybe
even harder, than it is in other environments like email.  I am not a
believer.

Um, it is "suddenly", or have you a copy of the spfbis archive that's
different from the one I have?

I'm sorry, but that is not the only argument I (and others) have put
forward so far.  If this conversation is going to be selective in that
manner, then I think I'm done here.

As far as I can see no one is asking anyone to break SPF.  All they
are asking is to let it continue down the path towards all type
SPF.  The DNS people know that will take years before people will
feel comfortable with using SPF only.  MX only domains took years
as well before people were confident to use them.

Instead of going for deprecation ask nameserver vendors to add
automatic insertion of type SPF if there is no SPF RRset (SHOULD
level).  This will help sites that are unintentionally breaking the
SHOULD publish both records.

Note most of the sites that described how to do SPF failed to mention
that you are supposed to publish both which where generally written
by people trying to promote SPF.

e.g.
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/

That includes sites written by people in the SPF working group who
should have known better.

When every example is a single TXT record it is hardly suprising
that type SPF was not being published often.

Conspiracy theorists would say that it was a deliberate attempt to
undermine type SPF.

You also forgot step 1.9, in which the software faeries magically
update named-checkzone for every new RRTYPE, even though the times
when new RRTYPEs are defined bear no relation to any sort of software
update or release schedule, and people who want to experiment with new
RRTYPEs are unlikely also to have the skills or inclination to patch
the BIND parser.

R's,
John

PS: That's why my hack, using an idea from Vixie, automatically
configures new RRTYPEs as they're published, with no software changes
or updates needed.  Again, I don't claim that's the only way to do it,
but I do strongly believe that a useful configurable provisioning or
DNS system can't require per-RR software changes.

John,

A configurable provisioning scheme sounds nice until you realize a =
defined and provisioned method to encode CIDR prefixes in binary existed =
several years with suitable input schemes before SPF's text approach was =
developed.  Bind was not the barrier.  It was RPC templates missing in =
Windows.  Substantial amounts were offered to those willing to implement =
Sender-ID, but they themselves were unable to support established DNS =
resource records?  Do you really think had there been a provisioning =
scheme in place things would have been different? =20

If done today, Lists of Address Prefixes (APL RR) sets offer a superior =
solution.  If APL instead of TXT had been the choice made then, =
configuring prefixes would be easier and less burdened with unused =
options and poorly considered features.  A prefix label in SRV fashion =
with APL offers more interesting, concise, and cleaner results.  This =
may not convince a web designer wanting to add dancing fruit, but XMPP =
used web techniques to implement a safer and more scalable StartTLS =
solution using binary RRs.  Why not do the same with SMTP? =20

Douglas Otis=

I'm physicist, so I understand momentum and inertia quite well. I thus can=
=20
assure you that even the minimal force can stop and revert even the fastest=
=20
movement of the heaviest celestial body. It's just a matter of how much tim=
e=20
you apply that force.

Here, the momentum and inertia are the deployed base of TXT spf records. Mo=
st=20
of them being v1, but the small force of spf 2 changed that movement and th=
e=20
body curved the trajectory from "use TXT v1" to "use TXT v1 and 2". Now, if=
 we=20
recommend SPF over TXT for spf (that's the minimal force) and give enought=
=20
time, we'll see how TXT loses positions from almost unique to dominant, the=
n=20
to majority, then to coexistent, then to minority, then to historic, then t=
o=20
almost unused. It is just a matter of time, and if we start today better th=
an=20
tomorrow, well gain the same 1 day at the end of the process.

Physics is so simple!

Of course, greater forces like deprecating TXT too early can broke things, =
in=20
the same way you can receive an egg with your hands (small force) but you'l=
l=20
break it if your receive it with a hockey stick.

So I suggest we do the right thing, which is not deprecating TXT, but exert=
ing=20
the small force: recommending SPF over TXT, and increasing slowly the force=
 of=20
the recommendation through SPF 3, 4 and so on.

Of course, it may be that we'll never reach SPF 4, but it can also be that =

Reality is addict to do bad use of resources. The amount of engineering use=

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science


We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the worldâs biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 


We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMPâs proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP. 


The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!


Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMPâs proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and tries to 
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). 
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published 
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabniaâs) pockets. 


Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has 
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMPâ13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMPâs fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMPâ13 
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. 


The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee 
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact 
details available on WORLDCOMPâs website is just an email address! 

Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for 
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal 
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many 
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at 
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 


Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. 


We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppetâs activities

Dear DNSEXT,

For all of the really interesting side discussions that have developed 
since SM sent this initial query, I believe there have not been any 
responses that answered the question that was asked.

DNSEXT was asked to provide expert review of this specific bit of text. 
  The text is intended to be comparable to the way that some other, 
similar situations have already been handled.

In my view, since I was the one who posted and asked questions about 
this very issue in IETF and DNSOP to get a feel about the unnamed RRTYPE 
and rfc3597 "Handling of Unknown DNS Resource Record (RR) Types", the 
current status quo, nine years later, what most preferred, I don't 
believe there was a consensus when you include the inputs from the other 
list to just stay with TXT. My concern was whether an RFC will be 
"sanctioned" as a proposed standard for what most experts believe, 
including myself, is a KLUDGE solution and not ideal in large scale and 
worst as more and more protocols are written using a TXT only solutions, 
its all limited.

What I felt is that some were some key folks who were now more accepting 
of a TXT based record and possibly because DNS servers have failed to 
keep up with this need (support RFC3597 or something like it).  That was 
the expectation in my view and we expected a long term migration to 
occur too.

I would support keeping the RRTYPE. I believe it is be less of a cost 
issue - implementators don't have to "UPGRADE/KEEP UP" to BIS by 
removing RRTYPE overhead.   By making it obsolete, you automatically 
make all SPF implementators "out of date."

Anyway, I am not too sure if everyone will like this outside the SPF BIS 
group. I didn't get that feel. Only a selective few (key cogs) that are 
part of this work has began to show an acceptance to it.  So if that 
matters, what is what I was trying to feel in IETF and DNSOP - who else 
agreed with that from an endorsement standpoint.

And, in the event a domain needs enough other TXT data that an SPF record 
would cause it to spill over into TCP, it's trivially solvable.  For 
example.com:

example.com.     3600    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.example.com"
_spf.example.com. 3600   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 [record content] -all"

It needn't ever be more impact than that.

Thanks.  Having looked at that, I think that the text in the original question 
from sm is OK (modulo we don't redesign things - please keep that in a 
different subthread).

I would like to suggest before eliminating (deprecating) SPF RRTYPE, in 
SPFBIS, the SPFBIS/DNS key cogs find out from the DNS vendors (or 
whoever manages/codes the main infrastructure DNS servers) why they are 
not supporting unnamed type processing?  Are they even aware of this 
need?  I believe BIND supports it, but not Microsoft DNS server.  How 
about others?  Are they all/mostly based on Bind source code?

I tried to find out last March 2012 in the Microsoft Windows Server Tech 
Forum [1] if Microsoft DNS v5.0 supported RFC3597 [2] or unnamed type 
processing, and it wasn't known or I just didn't reach the right folks. 
It was surprising that not even Ace Fakey was not aware of this need.

Damn.  Burst my bubble.  But I'd note that this isn't all about you or =

Err, SPFBIS _does_ change the spec.  It is proposing to deprecate the RR =

While I know you'd like to use this to drive dnsextlang (something I =
support), given the SPF RR semantics are identical to TXT RRs and the =
complexity associated with implementing (minimal) support for SPF is =
changing code to emit "99" instead of "16", I have a bit of skepticism =
that better tools/processes are actually the driving force here.

Strawman. Can you point to any message "demanding that we break" =
_anything_? Similarly, can you point to anyone who claims using TXT is =
the best choice as opposed to the pragmatic choice?  What I believe =
people (including myself) are saying is that the abandonment of a =
migration away from TXT is simply the wrong way to go and that a better =
approach would be to continue to encourage migration to SPF (with =
backwards compatibility, of course), even if it will take time.=20

In any event, DNSEXT is the wrong venue to discuss the SPFBIS strategy. =
I suppose the right course of action is to write up a draft entitled =
"TXT Considered Harmful" or somesuch.

I did, and didn't find anything that said that changing to querying SPF 
first would break anything _now_. If you're going to make the argument 
that it does, be explicit. The fact that at various times in the past, 
especially pre-3597, there were problems doesn't factor in.

And in this case doing the right thing is easy, so absent any concrete 
reasons not to ...

Sorry, I've spent way too much time on this already, and I've given a 
thorough analysis of what I did and didn't find in the archives. If you 
have an argument to make, make it. If not, admit that you're just not 
willing to do the work necessary to make the change.

Isn't that what RFC 5507 is all about?  Quoting from the
conclusion part:

  Given the various issues described in this note, we believe that:

   o  there is no magic solution that allows a completely painless
      addition of new data to the DNS, but

   o  on the whole, the best solution is still to use the DNS Resource
      Record Type mechanism designed for precisely this purpose,
      whenever possible, and

   o  of all the alternate solutions, the "obvious" approach of using
      TXT Resource Records for arbitrary names is almost certainly the
      worst, especially for the two reasons outlined above (lack of
      semantics and its implementations, and size leading to the need t=
o
      use TCP).

which seems pretty clear-cut to me.

Regards,

- H=E5vard

Nope. ALL the applications looking up TXT records will have to wade =

Frankly, it's beyond stupid to overload TXT records now a unique RRtype =

like adding _spf (say) to the QNAME so a big bunch of TXT records don't =
all have to sit at the same node in the tree.

Well, no. That's not the only concern:

1) it moves the mechanism to uniquify a DNS response out of the DNS =
library and into the application, forcing every protocol-specific =
library or application to have to deal with uniquifying the response in =
their own unique (and undoubtedly in some cases fascinating) way;

2) given individual RR order within an RRset is not guaranteed, it =
significantly complicates TXT RDATA parsing logic for any application =
that cares about TXT RRs;

3) It means you've reduced the amount of usable space in the RDATA since =
you have to have some unique string in the RDATA to key off of; and

4) because other protocols may use TXT at the same (unfortunately =

 It's more of a matter for applications (to avoid bloat) and for =
anti-abuse techniques (to avoid amplification).

While I agree that bloat/amplification is an issue, SPFBIS's decision =
impacts any future protocol that might use TXT at the same ownername as =
SPF.  The implication to DNSEXT is obviously that we should discourage =
TXT at the same ownernames as SPF uses (if not generally), but I figure =
that's already sort of been done. Unfortunately, I suspect "pragmatists" =
won't listen to such advice and then you get all of the above fun.

That's why I said "I personally believe deprecating the SPF RR is the =
wrong way to go".

As I have written before:

5) As multiple different usages of RR in DNS use the same owner and =
class, separation of the records in the query/response must be done via =
prefix on the owner. This implies multiple records can end up on =
different sides of a zone cut where a DNSSEC administrative boundary is =
located. For example, the MX might be signed, but the TXT for the same =
domain, but with a prefix, might be unsigned. The security implications =
of such differences in DNSSEC implications (key rollower etc) has not =
been investigated. I believe it is a weakness, or rather, it is a =
strength that all records that are "similar" can have the same owner and =
because of that be in the same zone.

It was not a coincidence I took the initiative to write RFC 5507. I am =
_really_ concerned over use of TXT the way it is done by the SPF =
"solution".

The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of
cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over
DNS data.  There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms,
but there is no record of the recommended implementation status of
each algorithm.  This document provides an applicability statement on
algorithm implementation status for DNSSEC component software.  This
document lists each algorithm's status based on the current
reference.  In the case that an algorithm is specified without an
implementation status, this document assigns one.  This document
updates RFCs 2536, 2539, 3110, 4034, 4398, 5155, 5702, and 5933.

This document is a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
