The IESG has received a request from the Home Networking WG (homenet) to consider the following document: - 'Simple Provisioning of Public Names for Residential Networks' <draft-ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation-26.txt> as Experimental RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-01-31. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Home network owners may have devices or services hosted on their home network that they wish to access from the Internet (i.e., from a network outside of the home network). Home networks are increasingly numbered using IPv6 addresses, which in principle makes this access simpler, but their access from the Internet requires the names and IP addresses of these devices and services to be made available in the public DNS. This document describes how an Home Naming Authority (NHA) instructs the outsourced infrastructure to publish these pieces of information in the public DNS. The names and IP addresses of the home network are set in the Public Homenet Zone by the Homenet Naming Authority (HNA), which in turn instructs an outsourced infrastructure to publish the zone on behalf of the home network owner. As a follow-up of the IESG telechat on the 5th of January 2023, it was decided by *all* the authors to change the intended status to experimental. Of course, this does not prevent a future -bis with a 'proposed standard' intended status leveraging the experience gained by implementations and experimentations. The change of intended status requires another IETF Last Call, so please review and comment on this document if not yet done (bearing in mind the experimental intended status). NB: this will also create a 'downref' for draft-ietf-homenet-naming-architecture-dhc-options per RFC 8067. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
