The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'C-DNS: A DNS Packet Capture Format' <draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-capture-format-08.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-11-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a data representation for collections of DNS messages. The format is designed for efficient storage and transmission of large packet captures of DNS traffic; it attempts to minimize the size of such packet capture files but retain the full DNS message contents along with the most useful transport metadata. It is intended to assist with the development of DNS traffic monitoring applications. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-capture-format/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-capture-format/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2909/
