The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DNS Transport over TCP - Implementation Requirements' (draft-ietf-dnsop-5966bis-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-5966bis/ Technical Summary The document specifies the requirements for support TCP as a transport protocol for DNS. It also provides guidelines on optimizing performance of DNS over TCP. This document obsoletes RFC 5966. Working Group Summary This document was actively discussed and reviewed, partially because this is a revision of an older RFC, but also as more DNS falls back to TCP (DNSSEC) and the need for DNS to support the DNS-over-TLS work in DPRIVE working group. The community feels updating the older RFC is well needed. This also include the initial author of RFC5966. The document had a broad discussion as the wording of several points were more accurately described. Once these issues were resolved, consensus was strong with no complaints.
