Subject: Last Call: <draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-tcp-requirements-12.txt> (DNS Transport over TCP - Operational Requirements) to Best Current Practice

From: The IESG <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 11:57:37 -0700

The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG
(dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Transport over TCP -
Operational Requirements'
  <draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-tcp-requirements-12.txt> as Best Current Practice

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
[email-masked] mailing lists by 2021-09-03. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to [email-masked] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   This document updates RFC 1123.  This document strongly encourages
   the operational practice of permitting DNS messages to be carried
   over TCP on the Internet as a best current practice.  Such
   encouragement is aligned with the implementation requirements in RFC
   7766.  The use of TCP includes both DNS over unencrypted TCP, as well
   as over an encrypted TLS session.  The document also considers the
   consequences with this form of DNS communication and the potential
   operational issues that can arise when this best current practice is
   not upheld.
