Hi all, During the IESG review, Adam Roach noticed that draft-ietf-dnsop-terminology-bis talked about “class" but never defined it. This seemed to the authors and chairs like a reasonable thing to fix. It’s also important enough that we want WG review, but not extensive enough to require a new LC.
Here's the definition that the authors would like to add to the document: Class: A class "identifies a protocol family or instance of a protocol" (Quoted from [RFC1034], Section 3.6). "The DNS tags all data with a class as well as the type, so that we can allow parallel use of different formats for data of type address." (Quoted from [RFC1034], Section 2.2). In practice, the class for nearly every query is "IN". There are some queries for "CH", but they are usually for the purposes of information about the server itself rather than for a different type of address. Please let us know your opinions yea or nay by Monday, Sept. 10, midnight UTC. Thanks, Suzanne (For the chairs)
