Technical Summary >> This document updates RFC 7788 (Home Networking Control Protocol), >> eliminating the recommendation for ".home" as the default top-level >> name for name resolution within a homenet and replacing it with >> ".home.arpa." per the RFC 6761 process. Working Group Summary >> The working group was strongly opposed to the idea of redacting the >> ".home" TLD without a replacement TLD requested at the same time. >> Upon granting of ".home.arpa." the open source homenet reference >> implementation will be updated accordingly (but not before, as >> removing the default TLD with no replacement would result in a >> non-working system). Document Quality >> Existing open source implementations of the HNCP protocol do contain >> the originally specified ".home" value, but it is expected that they >> will change to ".home.arpa." on approval Personnel >> Ray Bellis is the document shepherd. Terry Manderson is the >> responsible AD. IANA Note >> Please note the interaction required with the IAB to create a delegation as requested in Section 7 of the document.
