Technical Summary
This document defines a new DNS OPCODE for DNS Stateful Operations
(DSO). DSO messages communicate operations within persistent
stateful sessions, using type-length-value (TLV) syntax. Three TLVs
are defined that manage session timeouts, termination, and encryption
padding, and a framework is defined for extensions to enable new
stateful operations.
Working Group Summary
The working group spent a significant amount of time on this
document, as it adds persistence to DNS "connections".
However, after several iterations, the working group came to
consensus on the document, and strong consensus to move forward.
Document Quality
The document is clear and easily read.
It defines capabilities and provides functionality to be leveraged
by other protocols.
There are currently no existing implementations of the protocol. However,
this work is being leveraged in another working group on DNS Service Discovery.
Now that this draft is moving forward, final implementations can begin to
emerge.
