Today, the Domain Name System (DNS) is a key service for the
Internet. DNS is primarily used to map human-memorable names to IP
addresses, which are used for routing but generally not meaningful
for humans. However, the hierarchical nature of DNS makes it
unsuitable for various Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Name Systems. As
compatibility with applications using DNS names is desired, these
overlay networks often define alternative pseudo Top-Level Domains
(pTLDs) to integrate names from the P2P domain into the DNS
hierarchy.
This memo describes common Special-Use Domain Names [RFC6761]
pseudo Top-Level DNS Names designed to help harden name resolution
security (e.g., [RFC6840][RFC6975]), provide censorship resistance,
and protect the users' privacy on the Internet.
In this IESG Approval document we are asking for domain name
reservations for five Special-Use Domain Names [RFC6761] TLDs:
".gnu", ".zkey", ".onion", ".exit", and ".i2p".
