INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


1. Introduction

   The Domain Name System (DNS) provides replicated distributed secure
   hierarchical databases which hierarchically store "resource records"
   (RRs) under domain names.  DNS data is structured into CLASSes and
   zones which can be independently maintained.  See [RFC 1034, 1035,
   2136, 2181, 4033] familiarity with which is assumed.

   This document provides, either directly or by reference, general IANA
   parameter assignment considerations applying across DNS query and
   response headers and all RRs.  There may be additional IANA
   considerations that apply to only a particular RR type or
   query/response opcode.  See the specific RFC defining that RR type or
   query/response opcode for such considerations if they have been
   defined, except for AFSDB RR considerations [RFC 1183] which are
   included herein. This RFC obsoletes [RFC 2929].

   IANA currently maintains a web page of DNS parameters.  See
   <http://www.iana.org/numbers.htm>.

   "IETF Standards Action", "IETF Consensus", "Specification Required",
   and "Private Use" are as defined in [RFC 2434].



2. DNS Query/Response Headers

   The header for DNS queries and responses contains field/bits in the
   following diagram taken from [RFC 2136, 2929]:

                                              1  1  1  1  1  1
                0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  0  1  2  3  4  5
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |                      ID                       |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |QR|   Opcode  |AA|TC|RD|RA| Z|AD|CD|   RCODE   |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |                QDCOUNT/ZOCOUNT                |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |                ANCOUNT/PRCOUNT                |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |                NSCOUNT/UPCOUNT                |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
               |                    ARCOUNT                    |
               +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

   The ID field identifies the query and is echoed in the response so
   they can be matched.

   The QR bit indicates whether the header is for a query or a response.

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


   The AA, TC, RD, RA, AD, and CD bits are each theoretically meaningful
   only in queries or only in responses, depending on the bit.  However,
   many DNS implementations copy the query header as the initial value
   of the response header without clearing bits.  Thus any attempt to
   use a "query" bit with a different meaning in a response or to define
   a query meaning for a "response" bit is dangerous given existing
   implementation.  Such meanings may only be assigned by an IETF
   Standards Action.

   The unsigned fields query count (QDCOUNT), answer count (ANCOUNT),
   authority count (NSCOUNT), and additional information count (ARCOUNT)
   express the number of records in each section for all opcodes except
   Update.  These fields have the same structure and data type for
   Update but are instead the counts for the zone (ZOCOUNT),
   prerequisite (PRCOUNT), update (UPCOUNT), and additional information
   (ARCOUNT) sections.



2.1 One Spare Bit?

   There have been ancient DNS implementations for which the Z bit being
   on in a query meant that only a response from the primary server for
   a zone is acceptable.  It is believed that current DNS
   implementations ignore this bit.

   Assigning a meaning to the Z bit requires an IETF Standards Action.



2.2 Opcode Assignment

   Currently DNS OpCodes are assigned as follows:

          OpCode Name                      Reference

           0     Query                     [RFC 1035]
           1     IQuery  (Inverse Query, Obsolete) [RFC 3425]
           2     Status                    [RFC 1035]
           3     available for assignment
           4     Notify                    [RFC 1996]
           5     Update                    [RFC 2136]
          6-15   available for assignment

   New OpCode assignments require an IETF Standards Action as modified
   by [RFC 4020].

2.3 RCODE Assignment

   It would appear from the DNS header above that only four bits of
   RCODE, or response/error code are available.  However, RCODEs can
   appear not only at the top level of a DNS response but also inside
   OPT RRs [RFC 2671], TSIG RRs [RFC 2845], and TKEY RRs [RFC 2930].
   The OPT RR provides an eight bit extension resulting in a 12 bit
   RCODE field and the TSIG and TKEY RRs have a 16 bit RCODE field.

   Error codes appearing in the DNS header and in these three RR types
   all refer to the same error code space with the single exception of
   error code 16 which has a different meaning in the OPT RR from its
   meaning in other contexts.  See table below.

        RCODE   Name    Description                        Reference

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


   Since it is important that RCODEs be understood for interoperability,
   assignment of new RCODE listed above as "available for assignment"
   requires an IETF Consensus.



3. DNS Resource Records

   All RRs have the same top level format shown in the figure below
   taken from [RFC 1035]:

                                       1  1  1  1  1  1

       +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

   NAME is an owner name, i.e., the name of the node to which this
   resource record pertains.  NAMEs are specific to a CLASS as described
   in section 3.2.  NAMEs consist of an ordered sequence of one or more
   labels each of which has a label type [RFC 1035, 2671].

   TYPE is a two octet unsigned integer containing one of the RR TYPE
   codes.  See section 3.1.

   CLASS is a two octet unsigned integer containing one of the RR CLASS
   codes.  See section 3.2.

   TTL is a four octet (32 bit) bit unsigned integer that specifies the
   number of seconds that the resource record may be cached before the
   source of the information should again be consulted.  Zero is
   interpreted to mean that the RR can only be used for the transaction
   in progress.

   RDLENGTH is an unsigned 16 bit integer that specifies the length in

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


   octets of the RDATA field.

   RDATA is a variable length string of octets that constitutes the
   resource. The format of this information varies according to the TYPE
   and in some cases the CLASS of the resource record.



3.1 RR TYPE IANA Considerations

   There are three subcategories of RR TYPE numbers: data TYPEs, QTYPEs,
   and MetaTYPEs.

   Data TYPEs are the primary means of storing data.  QTYPES can only be
   used in queries.  Meta-TYPEs designate transient data associated with
   an particular DNS message and in some cases can also be used in
   queries.  Thus far, data TYPEs have been assigned from 1 upwards plus
   the block from 100 through 103 while Q and Meta Types have been
   assigned from 255 downwards except for the OPT Meta-RR which is
   assigned TYPE 41.  There have been DNS implementations which made
   caching decisions based on the top bit of the bottom byte of the RR
   TYPE.

   There are currently three Meta-TYPEs assigned: OPT [RFC 2671], TSIG
   [RFC 2845], and TKEY [RFC 2930].

   There are currently five QTYPEs assigned: * (all), MAILA, MAILB,
   AXFR, and IXFR.

   Considerations for the allocation of new RR TYPEs are as follows:

     Decimal
   Hexadecimal

     0
   0x0000 - TYPE zero is used as a special indicator for the SIG RR [RFC
          2535] and in other circumstances and must never be allocated
          for ordinary use.

     1 - 127
   0x0001 - 0x007F - remaining TYPEs in this range are assigned for data
          TYPEs by the DNS TYPE Allocation Policy as specified in
          section 3.1.1.

     128 - 255
   0x0080 - 0x00FF - remaining TYPEs in this rage are assigned for Q and
          Meta TYPEs by the DNS TYPE Allocation Policy as specified in
          section 3.1.1.

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


     256 - 32,767
   0x0100 - 0x7FFF - assigned for data, Q, or Meta TYPE use by the DNS
          TYPE Allocation Policy as specified in section 3.1.1.

     32,768 - 65,279
   0x8000 - 0xFEFF - Specification Required as defined in [RFC 2434].

     65,280 - 65534
   0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.

     65,535
   0xFFFF - Reserved, can only be assigned by an IETF Standards Action.



3.1.1 DNS TYPE Allocation Policy

   Parameter values specified above as assigned based on DNS TYPE
   Allocation Policy. That is, Expert Review with the additional
   requirement that the review be based on a complete template as
   specified below which has been posted for three weeks to the
   namedroppers@ops.ietf.org mailing list.

   Partial or draft templates may be posted with the intend of
   soliciting feedback.


                 DNS RR TYPE PARAMETER ALLOCATION TEMPLATE

        Date:

        Name and email of originator:

        Pointer to internet-draft or other document giving a detailed
        description of the protocol use of the new RR Type:

        What need is the new RR TYPE intended to fix?

        What existing RR TYPE(s) come closest to filling that need and why are
        they unsatisfactory?

        Does the proposed RR TYPR require special handling within the DNS
        different from an Unknown RR TYPE?

        Comments:

3.1.2 Special Note on the OPT RR

   The OPT (OPTion) RR, number 41, is specified in [RFC 2671].  Its
   primary purpose is to extend the effective field size of various DNS
   fields including RCODE, label type, OpCode, flag bits, and RDATA
   size.  In particular, for resolvers and servers that recognize it, it
   extends the RCODE field from 4 to 12 bits.



3.1.3 The AFSDB RR Subtype Field

   The AFSDB RR [RFC 1183] is a CLASS insensitive RR that has the same
   RDATA field structure as the MX RR but the 16 bit unsigned integer
   field at the beginning of the RDATA is interpreted as a subtype as
   follows:

     Decimal
   Hexadecimal

     0
   0x0000 -  Allocation requires IETF Standards Action.

     1
   0x0001 - Andrews File Service v3.0 Location Service [RFC 1183].

     2
   0x0002 - DCE/NCA root cell directory node [RFC 1183].

     3 - 65,279
   0x0003 - 0xFEFF - Allocation by IETF Consensus.

     65,280 - 65,534
   0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.

     65,535
   0xFFFF - Reserved, allocation requires IETF Standards Action.



3.2 RR CLASS IANA Considerations

   DNS CLASSes have been little used but constitute another dimension of
   the DNS distributed database.  In particular, there is no necessary
   relationship between the name space or root servers for one CLASS and
   those for another CLASS.  The same name can have completely different
   meanings in different CLASSes; however, the label types are the same
   and the null label is usable only as root in every CLASS.  However,
   as global networking and DNS have evolved, the IN, or Internet, CLASS
   has dominated DNS use.

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


   There are two subcategories of DNS CLASSes: normal data containing
   classes and QCLASSes that are only meaningful in queries or updates.

   The current CLASS assignments and considerations for future
   assignments are as follows:

     Decimal
   Hexadecimal

     0
   0x0000 - Reserved, assignment requires an IETF Standards Action.

     1
   0x0001 - Internet (IN).

     2
   0x0002 - Available for assignment by IETF Consensus as a data CLASS.

     3
   0x0003 - Chaos (CH) [Moon 1981].

     4
   0x0004 - Hesiod (HS) [Dyer 1987].

     5 - 127
   0x0005 - 0x007F - available for assignment by IETF Consensus for data
          CLASSes only.

     128 - 253
   0x0080 - 0x00FD - available for assignment by IETF Consensus for
          QCLASSes only.

     254
   0x00FE - QCLASS None [RFC 2136].

     255
   0x00FF - QCLASS Any [RFC 1035].

     256 - 32,767
   0x0100 - 0x7FFF - Assigned by IETF Consensus.

     32,768 - 65,279
   0x8000 - 0xFEFF - Assigned based on Specification Required as defined
          in [RFC 2434].

     65,280 - 65,534
   0xFF00 - 0xFFFE - Private Use.

     65,535
   0xFFFF - Reserved, can only be assigned by an IETF Standards Action.

INTERNET-DRAFT           DNS IANA Considerations             August 2005


3.3 RR NAME Considerations

   DNS NAMEs are sequences of labels [RFC 1035].  The last label in each
   NAME is "ROOT" which is the zero length label.  By definition, the
   null or ROOT label can not be used for any other NAME purpose.

   At the present time, there are two categories of label types, data
   labels and compression labels.  Compression labels are pointers to
   data labels elsewhere within an RR or DNS message and are intended to
   shorten the wire encoding of NAMEs.  The two existing data label
   types are sometimes referred to as Text and Binary.  Text labels can,
   in fact, include any octet value including zero value octets but most
   current uses involve only [US-ASCII].  For retrieval, Text labels are
   defined to treat ASCII upper and lower case letter codes as matching
   [insensitive].  Binary labels are bit sequences [RFC 2673]. The
   Binary label type is Experimental [RFC 3363].

   IANA considerations for label types are given in [RFC 2671].

   NAMEs are local to a CLASS.  The Hesiod [Dyer 1987] and Chaos [Moon
   1981] CLASSes are essentially for local use.  The IN or Internet
   CLASS is thus the only DNS CLASS in global use on the Internet at
   this time.

   A somewhat out-of-date description of name allocation in the IN Class
   is given in [RFC 1591].  Some information on reserved top level
   domain names is in BCP 32 [RFC 2606].



4. Security Considerations

   This document addresses IANA considerations in the allocation of
   general DNS parameters, not security.  See [RFC 4033, 4034, 4035] for
   secure DNS considerations.

Appendix: Changes from RFC 2929

   RFC Editor: This Appendix should be deleted for publication.

   Changes from RFC 2929 to this draft:

   1. Changed many "IETF Consensus" for RR TYPEs to be "DNS TYPE
   Allocation Policy" and add the specification of that policy. Change
   some remaining "IETF Standards Action" allocation requirements to say
   "as modified by [RFC 4020]".

   2. Updated various RFC references.

   3. Mentioned that the Binary label type is now Experimental and
   IQuery is Obsolete.

   4. Changed allocation status of RR Type 0xFFFF and RCODE 0xFFFF to be
   IETF Standards Action required.

   5. Add an IANA allocation policy for the AFSDB RR Subtype field.

   6. Addition of reference to case insensitive draft.
