The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Terminology' <draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-terminology-03.txt> as Best Current Practice 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 2015-08-11. 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 The DNS is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs. The terminology used in by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has sometimes changed in the decades since the DNS was first defined. This document gives current definitions for many of the terms used in the DNS in a single document. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-terminology/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-terminology/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
