Track Document (RFC4035)

Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)?  Why

Technical Summary

This document specifies the use of NSEC/NSEC3 resource records to
allow  DNSSEC validating resolvers to generate negative answers within
a range, and positive answers from wildcards.  This increases
performance / decreases latency, decreases resource utilization on
both authoritative and recursive servers, and also increases privacy.
It may also help increase resilience to certain DoS attacks in some
circumstances.-33


Working Group Summary

  Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For
  example, was there controversy about particular points or
  were there decisions where the consensus was particularly
  rough?

Document Quality

  Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a
  significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
  implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that
  merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
  e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
  conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If
  there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review,
  what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type
  review, on what date was the request posted?
