All,

I have asked for a short slot at the IETF 121 ACME WG meeting but I will
pose this question ahead on the mailing list:

The current DTN Node ID validation draft [1] uses validation method name
"dtn-nodeid-01" but this is slightly inconsistent with the existing
registered validation method names [2] in that the first part of the name is
neither a protocol (e.g. "dns" or "http") nor a transport type (e.g.
"email") name. For consistency's sake because this validation method is
strongly influenced by the email validation of RFC 8823 and uses BPv7 as its
challenge/response transport should it instead be named something like
"bp-nodeid-00"? This numbering would also hint at the category of the draft
being experimental.

 

There is little installed base for this method so adjusting the name will
not have an affect outside of prototypes. But this also might be something
better seen as happening before IESG review. I don't have strong opinions
about this other than wanting to be consistent with the other method names.

 

Any thoughts?

Brian S.
