Domain-Based Application Service Location Using SRV RRs and the Dynamic Delegation Discovery Service
RFC 3958, “Domain-Based Application Service Location Using SRV RRs and the Dynamic Delegation Discovery Service”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2005 by L. Daigle, A. Newton. It has since been updated by RFC 8553. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines a generalized mechanism for application service naming that allows service location without relying on rigid domain naming conventions (so-called name hacks). The proposal defines a Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Application to map domain name, application service name, and application protocol dynamically to target server and port. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
