Special-Use Domain 'home.arpa.'
RFC 8375, “Special-Use Domain 'home.arpa.'”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2018 by P. Pfister, T. Lemon. It updates RFC 7788. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the behavior that is expected from the Domain Name System with regard to DNS queries for names ending with '.home.arpa.' and designates this domain as a special-use domain name. 'home.arpa.' is designated for non-unique use in residential home networks. The Home Networking Control Protocol (HNCP) is updated to use the 'home.arpa.' domain instead of '.home'.
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.
