The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Resource Records for EUI-48 and EUI-64 Addresses in the DNS' <draft-jabley-dnsext-eui48-eui64-rrtypes-05.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2013-07-17. 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 48-bit Extended Unique Identifiers (EUI-48) and 64-bit Extended Unique Identifiers (EUI-64) are address formats specified by the IEEE for use in various layer-2 networks, e.g. Ethernet. This document describes two new DNS resource record types, EUI48 and EUI64, for encoding Ethernet addresses in the DNS. This document describes potentially severe privacy implications resulting from indiscriminate publication of link-layer addresses in the DNS. This document recommends that EUI-48 or EUI-64 addresses SHOULD NOT be published in the public DNS. This document specifies an interoperable encoding of these address types for use in private DNS namespaces, where the privacy concerns can be constrained and mitigated. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jabley-dnsext-eui48-eui64-rrtypes/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jabley-dnsext-eui48-eui64-rrtypes/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
