Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Specification
RFC 8782, “Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2020 by T. Reddy.K, M. Boucadair, P. Patil, A. Mortensen, N. Teague. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9132 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel, a protocol for signaling the need for protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks to a server capable of enabling network traffic mitigation on behalf of the requesting client.
A companion document defines the DOTS data channel, a separate reliable communication layer for DOTS management and configuration purposes.
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.
