The LoST-Validation Straightforward-Naming Authority PoinTeR Application Service Tag
RFC 8917, “The LoST-Validation Straightforward-Naming Authority PoinTeR Application Service Tag”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2020 by R. Gellens, B. Rosen. It updates RFC 5222. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document adds the 'LoST-Validation' service tag to the Straightforward-Naming Authority PoinTeR (S-NAPTR) Application Service Tag IANA registry. This tag can appear in a Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) Domain Name System (DNS) record to assist clients of the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol in identifying LoST servers designated for location validation. This tag and the information about its use update RFC 5222, which enables the explicit discovery of a server that supports location validation.
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.
