1. Introduction
This document defines DNS over CoAP (DoC), a protocol to send DNS
[RFC1035] queries and get DNS responses over the Constrained
Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252]. Each DNS query-response pair
is mapped into a CoAP message exchange. Each CoAP message is secured
by DTLS [RFC9147] or Object Security for Constrained RESTful
Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613] to ensure message integrity and
confidentiality.
The application use case of DoC is inspired by DNS over HTTPS
[RFC8484] (DoH). DoC, however, aims for the deployment in the
constrained Internet of Things (IoT), which usually conflicts with
the requirements introduced by HTTPS. Constrained IoT devices may be
restricted in memory, power consumption, link layer frame sizes,
throughput, and latency. They may only have a handful kilobytes of
both RAM and ROM. They may sleep for long durations of time, after
which they need to refresh the named resources they know about. Name
resolution in such scenarios must take into account link layer frame
sizes of only a few hundred bytes, bit rates in the magnitute of
kilobits per second, and latencies of several seconds [RFC7228].
To prevent TCP and HTTPS resource requirements, constrained IoT
devices could use DNS over DTLS [RFC8094]. In contrast to DNS over
DTLS, DoC utilizes CoAP features to mitigate drawbacks of datagram-
based communication. These features include: block-wise transfer,
which solves the Path MTU problem of DNS over DTLS (see [RFC8094],
section 5); CoAP proxies, which provide an additional level of
caching; re-use of data structures for application traffic and DNS
information, which saves memory on constrained devices.

Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
To prevent resource requirements of DTLS or TLS on top of UDP (e.g.,
introduced by DNS over QUIC [RFC9250]), DoC allows for lightweight
payload encryption based on OSCORE.

Figure 1: Basic DoC architecture
The most important components of DoC can be seen in Figure 1: A DoC
client tries to resolve DNS information by sending DNS queries
carried within CoAP requests to a DoC server. That DoC server is a
DNS client (i.e., a stub or recursive resolver) that resolves DNS
information by using other DNS transports such as DNS over UDP
[RFC1035], DNS over HTTPS [RFC8484], or DNS over QUIC [RFC9250] when
communicating with the upstream DNS infrastructure. Using that
information, the DoC server then replies to the queries of the DoC
client with DNS responses carried within CoAP responses.
Note that this specification is disjunct from DoH since the CoRE-
specific FETCH method is used. This was done to take benefit from
having the DNS query in the payload as with POST, but still having
the caching advantages we would gain with GET. Having the DNS query
in the payload means we do not need extra base64 encoding, which
would increase code complexity and message sizes. We are also able
to transfer a query block-wise.
2. Terminology
A server that provides the service specified in this document is
called a "DoC server" to differentiate it from a classic "DNS
server". A DoC server acts either as a DNS stub resolver [RFC8499]
or a DNS recursive resolver [RFC8499].
A client using the service specified in this document to retrieve the
DNS information is called a "DoC client".
The term "constrained nodes" is used as defined in [RFC7228].
Lenders, et al. Expires 5 September 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
The terms "CoAP payload" and "CoAP body" are used as defined in
[RFC7959], Section 2.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Selection of a DoC Server
In this document, it is assumed that the DoC client knows the DoC
server and the DNS resource at the DoC server. Possible options
could be manual configuration of a URI [RFC3986] or CRI
[I-D.ietf-core-href], or automatic configuration, e.g., using a CoRE
resource directory [RFC9176], DHCP or Router Advertisement options
[RFC9463] or discovery of designated resolvers [RFC9462]. Automatic
configuration SHOULD only be done from a trusted source.
Support for SVCB Resource Records [RFC9460], [RFC9461] or DNR Service
Parameters [RFC9463] are not specified in this document.
[I-D.lenders-core-dnr] explores solutions for CoAP for these
mechanisms.
When discovering the DNS resource through a link mechanism that
allows describing a resource type (e.g., the Resource Type Attribute
in [RFC6690]), the resource type "core.dns" can be used to identify a
generic DNS resolver that is available to the client.
While there is no path specified it is RECOMMENDED to use the root
path "/" for the DNS resource to keep the CoAP requests small.
4. Basic Message Exchange
4.1. The "application/dns-message" Content-Format
This document defines a CoAP Content-Format number for the Internet
media type "application/dns-message" to be the mnemonic 553--based on
the port assignment of DNS. This media type is defined as in
[RFC8484] Section 6, i.e., a single DNS message encoded in the DNS
on-the-wire format [RFC1035]. Both DoC client and DoC server MUST be
able to parse contents in the "application/dns-message" format.
Lenders, et al. Expires 5 September 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
4.2. DNS Queries in CoAP Requests
A DoC client encodes a single DNS query in one or more CoAP request
messages that use the CoAP FETCH [RFC8132] method. Requests SHOULD
include an Accept option to indicate the type of content that can be
parsed in the response.
Since CoAP provides reliability of the message layer (e.g. CON) the
retransmission mechanism of the DNS protocol as defined in [RFC1035]
is not needed.
4.2.1. Request Format
When sending a CoAP request, a DoC client MUST include the DNS query
in the body of the CoAP request. As specified in [RFC8132]
Section 2.3.1, the type of content of the body MUST be indicated
using the Content-Format option. This document specifies the usage
of Content-Format "application/dns-message" (details see
Section 4.1). A DoC server MUST be able to parse requests of
Content-Format "application/dns-message".
4.2.2. Support of CoAP Caching
The DoC client SHOULD set the ID field of the DNS header always to 0
to enable a CoAP cache (e.g., a CoAP proxy en-route) to respond to
the same DNS queries with a cache entry. This ensures that the CoAP
Cache-Key (see [RFC8132] Section 2) does not change when multiple DNS
queries for the same DNS data, carried in CoAP requests, are issued.
4.2.3. Examples
The following example illustrates the usage of a CoAP message to
resolve "example.org. IN AAAA" based on the URI
"coaps://[2001:db8::1]/". The CoAP body is encoded in "application/
dns-message" Content Format.
FETCH coaps://[2001:db8::1]/
Content-Format: application/dns-message
Accept: application/dns-message
Payload: 00 00 01 20 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 65 78 61 [binary]
6d 70 6c 65 03 6f 72 67 00 00 1c 00 01 c0 0c 00 [binary]
01 00 01 [binary]

Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
4.3. DNS Responses in CoAP Responses
Each DNS query-response pair is mapped to a CoAP REST request-
response operation. DNS responses are provided in the body of the
CoAP response. A DoC server MUST be able to produce responses in the
"application/dns-message" Content-Format (details see Section 4.1)
when requested. A DoC client MUST understand responses in
"application/dns-message" format when it does not send an Accept
option. Any other response format than "application/dns-message"
MUST be indicated with the Content-Format option by the DoC server.
4.3.1. Response Codes and Handling DNS and CoAP errors
A DNS response indicates either success or failure in the Response
code of the DNS header (see [RFC1035] Section 4.1.1). It is
RECOMMENDED that CoAP responses that carry any valid DNS response use
a "2.05 Content" response code.
CoAP responses use non-successful response codes MUST NOT contain a
DNS response and MUST only be used on errors in the CoAP layer or
when a request does not fulfill the requirements of the DoC protocol.
Communication errors with a DNS server (e.g., timeouts) SHOULD be
indicated by including a SERVFAIL DNS response in a successful CoAP
response.
A DoC client might try to repeat a non-successful exchange unless
otherwise prohibited. The DoC client might also decide to repeat a
non-successful exchange with a different URI, for instance, when the
response indicates an unsupported Content-Format.
4.3.2. Support of CoAP Caching
For reliability and energy saving measures content decoupling and
thus en-route caching on proxies takes a far greater role than it
does, e.g., in HTTP. Likewise, CoAP utilizes cache validation to
refresh stale cache entries without large messages which often uses
hashing over the message content for ETag generation. As such, the
approach to guarantee the same cache key for DNS responses as
proposed in DoH ([RFC8484], section 5.1) is not sufficient and needs
to be updated so that the TTLs in the response are more often the
same regardless of query time.
The DoC server MUST ensure that any sum of the Max-Age value of a
CoAP response and any TTL in the DNS response is less or equal to the
corresponding TTL received from an upstream DNS server. This also
includes the default Max-Age value of 60 seconds (see [RFC7252],
section 5.10.5) when no Max-Age option is provided. The DoC client
Lenders, et al. Expires 5 September 2024 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
MUST then add the Max-Age value of the carrying CoAP response to all
TTLs in a DNS response on reception and use these calculated TTLs for
the associated records.
The RECOMMENDED algorithm to assure the requirement for the DoC is to
set the Max-Age option of a response to the minimum TTL of a DNS
response and to subtract this value from all TTLs of that DNS
response. This prevents expired records unintentionally being served
from an intermediate CoAP cache. Additionally, it allows for the
ETag value for cache validation, if it is based on the content of the
response, not to change even if the TTL values are updated by an
upstream DNS cache. If only one record set per DNS response is
assumed, a simplification of this algorithm is to just set all TTLs
in the response to 0 and set the TTLs at the DoC client to the value
of the Max-Age option.
4.3.3. Examples
The following examples illustrate the replies to the query
"example.org. IN AAAA record", recursion turned on. Successful
responses carry one answer record including address
2001:db8:1::1:2:3:4 and TTL 58719.
A successful response:
2.05 Content
Content-Format: application/dns-message
Max-Age: 58719
Payload: 00 00 81 a0 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 07 65 78 61 [binary]
6d 70 6c 65 03 6f 72 67 00 00 1c 00 01 c0 0c 00 [binary]
1c 00 01 00 01 37 49 00 10 20 01 0d b8 00 01 00 [binary]
00 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04 [binary]
When a DNS error (SERVFAIL in this case) is noted in the DNS
response, the CoAP response still indicates success:
2.05 Content
Content-Format: application/dns-message
Payload: 00 00 81 a2 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 65 78 61 [binary]
6d 70 6c 65 03 6f 72 67 00 00 1c 00 01 [binary]
When an error occurs on the CoAP layer, the DoC server SHOULD respond
with an appropriate CoAP error, for instance "4.15 Unsupported
Content-Format" if the Content-Format option in the request was not
set to "application/dns-message" and the Content-Format is not
otherwise supported by the server.

Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
5. CoAP/CoRE Integration
5.1. DNS Push
DNS Push requires additional overhead, which conflicts with
constrained resources, This is the reason why it is RECOMMENDED to
use CoAP Observe [RFC7641] instead of DNS Push in the DoC domain.
If the CoAP request indicates that the DoC client wants to observe a
resource record, a DoC server MAY use a DNS Subscribe message
[RFC8765] instead of a classic DNS query to fetch the information on
behalf of a DoC client. If this is not supported by the DoC server,
it MUST act as if the resource were not observable.
Whenever the DoC server receives a DNS Push message [RFC8765] from
the DNS infrastructure for an observed resource record, the DoC
server sends an appropriate Observe response to the DoC client.
If no more DoC clients observe a resource record for which the DoC
server has an open subscription, the DoC server MUST use a DNS
Unsubscribe message [RFC8765] to close its subscription to the
resource record as well.
5.2. OSCORE
It is RECOMMENDED to carry DNS messages encrypted using OSCORE
[RFC8613] between the DoC client and the DoC server. The
establishment and maintenance of the OSCORE Security Context is out
of the scope of this document.
If cache retrieval of OSCORE responses is desired, it can be
achieved, for instance, by using the method defined in
[I-D.amsuess-core-cachable-oscore]. This has, however, implications
on message sizes and security properties, which are compiled in that
document.
5.3. Mapping DoC to DoH
This document provides no specification how to map between DoC and
DoH, e.g., at a CoAP-HTTP-proxy, and it is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Rewriting the FETCH method (Section 4.2) and the TTL rewriting
(Section 4.3.2) as specified in this draft would be non-trivial. It
is RECOMMENDED to use a DNS forwarder to map between DoC and DoH, as
would be the case for mapping between any other DNS transport.
Lenders, et al. Expires 5 September 2024 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft DoC March 2024
6. Considerations for Unencrypted Use
The use of DoC without a security mode of CoAP is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Without a security mode, a large number of possible attacks need to
be evaluate in the context of the application's threat model. This
includes threats that are mitigated even by DNS over UDP: For
example, the random ID of the DNS header afford some protection
against off-path cache poisoning attacks---a threat that might be
mitigated by using random large token values in the CoAP request.
7. Implementation Status
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
The description of implementations in this section is intended to
assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort
has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not
be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
exist.
According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
they see fit".

8. Security Considerations
When using unencrypted CoAP (see Section 6), setting the ID of a DNS
message to 0 as specified in Section 4.2.2 opens open the DNS cache
of a DoC client to cache poisoning attacks via response spoofing.
This documents requires an unpredictable CoAP token in each DoC query
from the client when CoAP is not secured to mitigate such an attack
over DoC (see Section 6).
For encrypted usage with DTLS or OSCORE the impact of a fixed ID on
security is limited, as both harden against injecting spoofed
responses. Consequently, it is of little concern to leverage the
benefits of CoAP caching by setting the ID to 0.
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. New "application/dns-message" Content-Format
IANA is requested to assign CoAP Content-Format ID for the DNS
message media type in the "CoAP Content-Formats" sub-registry, within
the "CoRE Parameters" registry [RFC7252], corresponding to the
"application/dns-message" media type from the "Media Types" registry:
Media-Type: application/dns-message
Encoding: -
