A Simple Control Protocol for MPLS SFLs

	draft-ietf-mpls-sfl-control-03.txt
	Date:	06/08/2022
	Authors:	Stewart Bryant, George Swallow, Siva Sivabalan
	Working Group:	Multiprotocol Label Switching (mpls)
	Formats:	txt html xml

In RFC 8957 the concept of MPLS synonymos flow labels (SFL) was introduced. This document describes a simple control protocol that runs over an associated control header to request, withdraw, and extend the lifetime of such labels. It is not the only control protocol that might be used to support SFL, but it has the benefit of being able to be used without modifying of the existing MPLS control protocols. The existence of this design is not intended to restrict the ability to enhance an existing MPLS control protocol to add a similar capability. A Querier MUST wait a configured time (suggested wait of 60 seconds) before re-attempting a Withdraw request. No more than three Withdraw requests SHOULD be made. These restrictions are to prevent overloading the control plane of the actioning router.

Discovery of Designated Resolvers

	draft-ietf-add-ddr-10.txt
	Date:	05/08/2022
	Authors:	Tommy Pauly, Eric Kinnear, Christopher Wood, Patrick McManus, Tommy Jensen
	Working Group:	Adaptive DNS Discovery (add)
	Formats:	txt xml html

This document defines Discovery of Designated Resolvers (DDR), a mechanism for DNS clients to use DNS records to discover a resolver's encrypted DNS configuration. An encrypted DNS resolver discovered in this manner is referred to as a "Designated Resolver". This mechanism can be used to move from unencrypted DNS to encrypted DNS when only the IP address of a resolver is known. This mechanism is designed to be limited to cases where unencrypted DNS resolvers and their designated resolvers are operated by the same entity or cooperating entities. It can also be used to discover support for encrypted DNS protocols when the name of an encrypted DNS resolver is known.
