Service Undiscovery Using Hide-and-Go-Seek for the Domain Pseudonym System
RFC 6593, “Service Undiscovery Using Hide-and-Go-Seek for the Domain Pseudonym System”, is an Experimental document published in April 2012 by C. Pignataro, J. Clarke, G. Salgueiro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
With the ubiquitous success of service discovery techniques, curious clients are faced with an increasing overload of service instances and options listed when they browse for services. A typical domain may contain web servers, remote desktop servers, printers, file servers, video content servers, automatons, Points of Presence using artificial intelligence, etc., all advertising their presence. Unsurprisingly, it is expected that some protocols and services will choose the comfort of anonymity and avoid discovery.
This memo describes a new experimental protocol for this purpose utilizing the Domain Pseudonym System (DPS), and discusses strategies for its successful implementation and deployment. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
