Internet-Draft         DNS Storage of Tunnel Info          November 2023

   A. Submission Date: tbd

   B.1 Submission Type:  [X] New RRTYPE  [ ] Modification to RRTYPE
   B.2 Kind of RR:  [X] Data RR  [ ] Meta-RR

   D. Motivation for the new RRTYPE application.

      Need to store tunneling information in the DNS.

   E. Description of the proposed RR type.
      See draft-eastlake-dnsop-svcb-rr-tunnel

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

      The SRV RR provides connection information for a service/host but
      not tunneling information.

   G. What mnemonic is requested for the new RRTYPE (optional)?

      TUNNEL

   H. Does the requested RRTYPE make use of any existing IANA registry
      or require the creation of a new IANA subregistry in DNS
      Parameters?  If so, please indicate which registry is to be used
      or created.  If a new subregistry is needed, specify the
      allocation policy for it and its initial contents.

      Makes use of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Tunnel
      Encapsulation Registry and subsidiary Registries under tha
      encapsulation registry. Does not create a new registry.

   I. Does the proposal require/expect any changes in DNS
      servers/resolvers that prevent the new type from being processed
      as an unknown RRTYPE (see [RFC3597])?

      No.

   J. Comments:  None.
