Title: DNS Terminology Author: P. Hoffman, K. Fujiwara Status: Best Current Practice Stream: IETF Date: March 2024 Mailbox: paul.hoff...@icann.org, fujiw...@jprs.co.jp Pages: 45 Obsoletes: RFC 8499 Updates: RFC 2308 See Also: BCP 219 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8499bis-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9499 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9499 The Domain Name System (DNS) is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs. The terminology used by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has 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. This document updates RFC 2308 by clarifying the definitions of "forwarder" and "QNAME". It obsoletes RFC 8499 by adding multiple terms and clarifications. Comprehensive lists of changed and new definitions can be found in Appendices A and B. This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF. BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
