1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) provides replicated distributed secure
hierarchical databases that store "resource records" (RRs) under
domain names. DNS data is structured into CLASSes and zones that can
be independently maintained. Familiarity with [RFC1034], [RFC1035],
[RFC2136], [RFC2181], and [RFC4033] is assumed.
This document provides, either directly or by reference, the general
IANA parameter assignment considerations that apply across DNS query
and response headers and all RRs. There may be additional IANA
considerations that apply to only a particular RRTYPE or
query/response OpCode. See the specific RFC defining that RRTYPE or
query/response OpCode for such considerations if they have been
defined, except for AFSDB RR considerations [RFC1183], which are
included herein. This RFC obsoletes [RFC5395]; however, the only
significant change is the change to the public review mailing list to
dnsext@ietf.org.
IANA currently maintains a web page of DNS parameters available from
http://www.iana.org.
1.1. Terminology
"Standards Action", "IETF Review", "Specification Required", and
"Private Use" are as defined in [RFC5226].
2. DNS Query/Response Headers
The header for DNS queries and responses contains field/bits in the
following diagram taken from [RFC2136] and [RFC5395]:
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| ID |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|QR| OpCode |AA|TC|RD|RA| Z|AD|CD| RCODE |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| QDCOUNT/ZOCOUNT |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| ANCOUNT/PRCOUNT |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| NSCOUNT/UPCOUNT |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| ARCOUNT |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
The ID field identifies the query and is echoed in the response so
they can be matched.
The QR bit indicates whether the header is for a query or a response.
The AA, TC, RD, RA, AD, and CD bits are each theoretically meaningful
only in queries or only in responses, depending on the bit. However,
some DNS implementations copy the query header as the initial value
of the response header without clearing bits. Thus, any attempt to
use a "query" bit with a different meaning in a response or to define
a query meaning for a "response" bit is dangerous, given existing
implementation. Such meanings may only be assigned by a Standards
Action.
The unsigned integer fields query count (QDCOUNT), answer count
(ANCOUNT), authority count (NSCOUNT), and additional information
count (ARCOUNT) express the number of records in each section for all
OpCodes except Update [RFC2136]. These fields have the same
structure and data type for Update but are instead the counts for the
zone (ZOCOUNT), prerequisite (PRCOUNT), update (UPCOUNT), and
additional information (ARCOUNT) sections.
2.1. One Spare Bit?
There have been ancient DNS implementations for which the Z bit being
on in a query meant that only a response from the primary server for
a zone is acceptable. It is believed that current DNS
implementations ignore this bit.
Assigning a meaning to the Z bit requires a Standards Action.
2.2. OpCode Assignment
Currently, DNS OpCodes are assigned as follows:
OpCode Name Reference
0 Query [RFC1035]
1 IQuery (Inverse Query, Obsolete) [RFC3425]
2 Status [RFC1035]
3 available for assignment
4 Notify [RFC1996]
5 Update [RFC2136]
6-15 available for assignment
New OpCode assignments require a Standards Action as modified by
[RFC4020].
2.3. RCODE Assignment
It would appear from the DNS header above that only four bits of
RCODE, or response/error code, are available. However, RCODEs can
appear not only at the top level of a DNS response but also inside
OPT RRs [RFC2671], TSIG RRs [RFC2845], and TKEY RRs [RFC2930].
The OPT RR provides an 8-bit extension resulting in a 12-bit RCODE
field, and the TSIG and TKEY RRs have a 16-bit RCODE field.
Error codes appearing in the DNS header and in these three RR
types all refer to the same error code space with the single
exception of error code 16, which has a different meaning in the
OPT RR than in other contexts. This duplicate assignment was
accidental. See table below.
RCODE Name Description Reference
Decimal
Hexadecimal
0 NoError No Error [RFC1035]
1 FormErr Format Error [RFC1035]
2 ServFail Server Failure [RFC1035]
3 NXDomain Non-Existent Domain [RFC1035]
4 NotImp Not Implemented [RFC1035]
5 Refused Query Refused [RFC1035]
6 YXDomain Name Exists when it should not [RFC2136]
7 YXRRSet RR Set Exists when it should not [RFC2136]
8 NXRRSet RR Set that should exist does not [RFC2136]
9 NotAuth Server Not Authoritative for zone [RFC2136]
10 NotZone Name not contained in zone [RFC2136]
11 - 15 Available for assignment
16 BADVERS Bad OPT Version [RFC2671]
16 BADSIG TSIG Signature Failure [RFC2845]
17 BADKEY Key not recognized [RFC2845]
18 BADTIME Signature out of time window [RFC2845]
19 BADMODE Bad TKEY Mode [RFC2930]
20 BADNAME Duplicate key name [RFC2930]
21 BADALG Algorithm not supported [RFC2930]
22 BADTRUC Bad Truncation [RFC4635]
23 - 3,840
0x0017 - 0x0F00 Available for assignment
3,841 - 4,095
0x0F01 - 0x0FFF Private Use
4,096 - 65,534
0x1000 - 0xFFFE Available for assignment
65,535
0xFFFF Reserved, can only be allocated by a
Standards Action.
Since it is important that RCODEs be understood for
interoperability, assignment of a new RCODE in the ranges listed
above as "Available for assignment" requires an IETF Review.
3. DNS Resource Records
All RRs have the same top-level format, shown in the figure below
taken from [RFC1035].
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| |
/ /
/ NAME /
/ /
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| TYPE |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| CLASS |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| TTL |
| |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| RDLENGTH |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--|
/ RDATA /
/ /
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
NAME is an owner name, i.e., the name of the node to which this
resource record pertains. NAMEs are specific to a CLASS as described
in Section 3.2. NAMEs consist of an ordered sequence of one or more
labels, each of which has a label type [RFC1035] [RFC2671].
TYPE is a 2-octet unsigned integer containing one of the RRTYPE
codes. See Section 3.1.
CLASS is a 2-octet unsigned integer containing one of the RR CLASS
codes. See Section 3.2.
TTL is a 4-octet (32-bit) unsigned integer that specifies, for data
TYPEs, the number of seconds that the resource record may be cached
before the source of the information should again be consulted. Zero
is interpreted to mean that the RR can only be used for the
transaction in progress.
RDLENGTH is an unsigned 16-bit integer that specifies the length in
octets of the RDATA field.
RDATA is a variable-length string of octets that constitutes the
resource. The format of this information varies according to the
TYPE and, in some cases, the CLASS of the resource record.
3.1. RRTYPE IANA Considerations
There are three subcategories of RRTYPE numbers: data TYPEs, QTYPEs,
and Meta-TYPEs.
Data TYPEs are the means of storing data. QTYPES can only be used in
queries. Meta-TYPEs designate transient data associated with a
particular DNS message and, in some cases, can also be used in
queries. Thus far, data TYPEs have been assigned from 1 upward,
plus the block from 100 through 103, and from 32,768 upward, while Q
and Meta-TYPEs have been assigned from 255 downward except for the
OPT Meta-RR, which is assigned TYPE 41. There have been DNS
implementations that made caching decisions based on the top bit of
the bottom byte of the RRTYPE.
There are currently three Meta-TYPEs assigned: OPT [RFC2671], TSIG
[RFC2845], and TKEY [RFC2930]. There are currently five QTYPEs
assigned: * (ALL), MAILA, MAILB, AXFR, and IXFR.
RRTYPEs have mnemonics that must be completely disjoint from the
mnemonics used for CLASSes and that must match the following regular
expression:
[A-Z][A-Z0-9\-]*[A-Z0-9]
Considerations for the allocation of new RRTYPEs are as follows:
Decimal
Hexadecimal
0
0x0000 - RRTYPE zero is used as a special indicator for the SIG (0)
RR [RFC2931] [RFC4034] and in other circumstances, and it
must never be allocated for ordinary use.
1 - 127
0x0001 - 0x007F - Remaining RRTYPEs in this range are assigned for
data TYPEs by the DNS RRTYPE Allocation Policy as specified
in Section 3.1.1.
128 - 255
0x0080 - 0x00FF - Remaining RRTYPEs in this range are assigned for Q
and Meta-TYPEs by the DNS RRTYPE Allocation Policy as
specified in Section 3.1.1.
256 - 61,439
0x0100 - 0xEFFF - Remaining RRTYPEs in this range are assigned for
data RRTYPEs by the DNS RRTYPE Allocation Policy as
specified in Section 3.1.1. (32,768 and 32,769 (0x8000 and
0x8001) have been assigned.)
61,440 - 65,279
0xF000 - 0xFEFF - Reserved for future use. IETF Review required to
define use.
65,280 - 65,534
0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.
65,535
0xFFFF - Reserved, can only be assigned by a Standards Action.
3.1.1. DNS RRTYPE Allocation Policy
Parameter values specified in Section 3.1 above, as assigned based on
DNS RRTYPE Allocation Policy, are allocated by Expert Review if they
meet the two requirements listed below. There will be a pool of a
small number of Experts appointed by the IESG. Each application will
be ruled on by an Expert selected by IANA. In any case where the
selected Expert is unavailable or states they have a conflict of
interest, IANA may select another Expert from the pool.
Some guidelines for the Experts are given in Section 3.1.2. RRTYPEs
that do not meet the requirements below may nonetheless be allocated
by a Standards Action as modified by [RFC4020].
1. A complete template as specified in Appendix A has been posted
for three weeks to the dnsext@ietf.org mailing list before the
Expert Review decision.
Note that partially completed or draft templates may be posted
directly by the applicant for comment and discussion, but the
formal posting to start the three-week period is made by the
Expert.
2. The RR for which an RRTYPE code is being requested is either (a)
a data TYPE that can be handled as an Unknown RR as described in
[RFC3597] or (b) a Meta-TYPE whose processing is optional, i.e.,
it is safe to simply discard RRs with that Meta-TYPE in queries
or responses.
Note that such RRs may include additional section processing,
provided such processing is optional.
After the applicant posts their formal application with their
template as specified in Appendix A, IANA appoints an Expert and the
template is posted, with an indication that it is a formal
application, to the dnsext@ietf.org mailing list. No less than three
weeks and no more than six weeks after this posting to
dnsext@ietf.org, the selected Expert shall post a message, explicitly
accepting or rejecting the application, to IANA, dnsext@ietf.org, and
the email address provided by the applicant. If the Expert does not
post such a message, the application shall be considered rejected but
may be resubmitted to IANA. IANA should report non-responsive
Experts to the IESG.
IANA shall maintain a public archive of approved templates.
3.1.2. DNS RRTYPE Expert Guidelines
The selected DNS RRTYPE Expert is required to monitor discussion of
the proposed RRTYPE, which may occur on the dnsext@ietf.org mailing
list, and may consult with other technical experts as necessary. The
Expert should normally reject any RRTYPE allocation request that
meets one or more of the following criteria:
1. Was documented in a manner that was not sufficiently clear to
evaluate or implement.
2. The proposed RRTYPE or RRTYPEs affect DNS processing and do not
meet the criteria in point 2 of Section 3.1.1 above.
3. The documentation of the proposed RRTYPE or RRTYPEs is
incomplete. (Additional documentation can be provided during the
public comment period or by the Expert.)
4. Application use as documented makes incorrect assumptions about
DNS protocol behavior, such as wild cards, CNAME, DNAME, etc.
5. An excessive number of RRTYPE values is being requested when the
purpose could be met with a smaller number or with Private Use
values.
3.1.3. Special Note on the OPT RR
The OPT (OPTion) RR (RRTYPE 41) and its IANA considerations are
specified in [RFC2671]. Its primary purpose is to extend the
effective field size of various DNS fields including RCODE, label
type, OpCode, flag bits, and RDATA size. In particular, for
resolvers and servers that recognize it, it extends the RCODE field
from 4 to 12 bits.
3.1.4. The AFSDB RR Subtype Field
The AFSDB RR [RFC1183] is a CLASS-insensitive RR that has the same
RDATA field structure as the MX RR [RFC1035], but the 16-bit
unsigned integer field at the beginning of the RDATA is interpreted
as a subtype as follows:
Decimal
Hexadecimal
0
0x0000 - Reserved; allocation requires a Standards Action.
1
0x0001 - Andrews File Service v3.0 Location Service [RFC1183].
2
0x0002 - DCE/NCA root cell directory node [RFC1183].
3 - 65,279
0x0003 - 0xFEFF - Allocation by IETF Review.
65,280 - 65,534
0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.
65,535
0xFFFF - Reserved; allocation requires a Standards Action.
3.2. RR CLASS IANA Considerations
There are currently two subcategories of DNS CLASSes: normal, data-
containing classes and QCLASSes that are only meaningful in queries
or updates.
DNS CLASSes have been little used but constitute another dimension of
the DNS distributed database. In particular, there is no necessary
relationship between the name space or root servers for one data
CLASS and those for another data CLASS. The same DNS NAME can have
completely different meanings in different CLASSes. The label types
are the same, and the null label is usable only as root in every
CLASS. As global networking and DNS have evolved, the IN, or
Internet, CLASS has dominated DNS use.
As yet, there has not been a requirement for "meta-CLASSes". That
would be a CLASS to designate transient data associated with a
particular DNS message, which might be usable in queries. However,
it is possible that there might be a future requirement for one or
more "meta-CLASSes".
CLASSes have mnemonics that must be completely disjoint from the
mnemonics used for RRTYPEs and that must match the following regular
expression:
[A-Z][A-Z0-9\-]*[A-Z0-9]
The current CLASS assignments and considerations for future
assignments are as follows:
Decimal
Hexadecimal
0
0x0000 - Reserved; assignment requires a Standards Action.
1
0x0001 - Internet (IN).
2
0x0002 - Available for assignment by IETF Review as a data CLASS.
3
0x0003 - Chaos (CH) [Moon1981].
4
0x0004 - Hesiod (HS) [Dyer1987].
5 - 127
0x0005 - 0x007F - Available for assignment by IETF Review for data
CLASSes only.
128 - 253
0x0080 - 0x00FD - Available for assignment by IETF Review for
QCLASSes and meta-CLASSes only.
254
0x00FE - QCLASS NONE [RFC2136].
255
0x00FF - QCLASS * (ANY) [RFC1035].
256 - 32,767
0x0100 - 0x7FFF - Assigned by IETF Review.
32,768 - 57,343
0x8000 - 0xDFFF - Assigned for data CLASSes only, based on
Specification Required as defined in [RFC5226].
57,344 - 65,279
0xE000 - 0xFEFF - Assigned for QCLASSes and meta-CLASSes only, based
on Specification Required as defined in [RFC5226].
65,280 - 65,534
0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.
65,535
0xFFFF - Reserved; can only be assigned by a Standards Action.
3.3. Label Considerations
DNS NAMEs are sequences of labels [RFC1035].
3.3.1. Label Types
At the present time, there are two categories of label types: data
labels and compression labels. Compression labels are pointers to
data labels elsewhere within an RR or DNS message and are intended to
shorten the wire encoding of NAMEs.
The two existing data label types are sometimes referred to as Text
and Binary. Text labels can, in fact, include any octet value
including zero-value octets, but many current uses involve only
[US-ASCII]. For retrieval, Text labels are defined to treat ASCII
upper and lower case letter codes as matching [RFC4343]. Binary
labels are bit sequences [RFC2673]. The Binary label type is
Experimental [RFC3363].
IANA considerations for label types are given in [RFC2671].
3.3.2. Label Contents and Use
The last label in each NAME is "ROOT", which is the zero-length
label. By definition, the null or ROOT label cannot be used for any
other NAME purpose.
NAMEs are local to a CLASS. The Hesiod [Dyer1987] and Chaos
[Moon1981] CLASSes are for essentially local use. The IN, or
Internet, CLASS is thus the only DNS CLASS in global use on the
Internet at this time.
A somewhat out-of-date description of name allocation in the IN Class
is given in [RFC1591]. Some information on reserved top-level domain
names is in BCP 32 [RFC2606].
4. Security Considerations
This document addresses IANA considerations in the allocation of
general DNS parameters, not security. See [RFC4033], [RFC4034], and
[RFC4035] for secure DNS considerations.
5. IANA Considerations
This document consists entirely of DNS IANA Considerations.
IANA has established a process for accepting Appendix A templates and
selecting an Expert from those appointed to review such template form
applications. IANA archives and makes available all approved RRTYPE
allocation templates. It is the duty of the applicant to post the
formal application template to the dns-rrtype-applications@ietf.org
mailing list, which IANA will monitor. The dnsext@ietf.org mailing
list is for community discussion and comment. See Section 3.1 and
Appendix A for more details.
Appendix A. RRTYPE Allocation Template
DNS RRTYPE PARAMETER ALLOCATION TEMPLATE
When ready for formal consideration, this template is to be submitted
to IANA for processing by emailing the template to
dns-rrtype-applications@ietf.org.
A. Submission Date:
B. Submission Type:
[ ] New RRTYPE
[ ] Modification to existing RRTYPE
C. Contact Information for submitter (will be publicly posted):
Name:
Email Address:
International telephone number:
Other contact handles:
D. Motivation for the new RRTYPE application.
Please keep this part at a high level to inform the Expert and
reviewers about uses of the RRTYPE. Most reviewers will be DNS
experts that may have limited knowledge of your application space.
E. Description of the proposed RR type.
This description can be provided in-line in the template, as an
attachment, or with a publicly available URL.
F. What existing RRTYPE or RRTYPEs come closest to filling that need
and why are they unsatisfactory?
G. What mnemonic is requested for the new RRTYPE (optional)?
Note: this can be left blank and the mnemonic decided after the
template is accepted.
H. Does the requested RRTYPE make use of any existing IANA registry
or require the creation of a new IANA sub-registry in DNS
Parameters? If so, please indicate which registry is to be used
or created. If a new sub-registry is needed, specify the
allocation policy for it and its initial contents. Also include
what the modification procedures will be.
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])?
J. Comments:
Appendix B. Changes From RFC 5395
Replaced "namedroppers@ops.ietf.org" with "dnsext@ietf.org".
Dropped description of changes from RFC 2929 to RFC 5395 since those
changes have already happened, and we don't need to do them again.
Updated the boilerplate text.
Fixed Section 5 to say that it is the duty of the applicant, not the
expert, to post the application to dns-rrtype-applications@ietf.org.
Changed the regular expression for RRTYPE and CLASS names so as to
prohibit trailing hyphen ("-") and require a minimum length of 2
characters.
Made a number of minor editorial and typos fixes.
